    Tyneside recycling specialist GAP Group NE Limited has awarded a contract to another North East firm to deliver an advanced system that can separate metals and plastics.

    Ferryhill-based mining equipment manufacturer Parnaby Cyclones will fulfil the £5.2m contract to make what is described as “one of the UK and Europe’s most advanced polymer and metal separation and recovery systems”. It is expected to be operational by the second quarter of next year and will allow plastics, copper, brass and other rare earth materials to be reclaimed for new products.
