Business reveals plans for waste management plant
Recycling and waste management firm, FCC Environment, is planning to introduce new waste recovery technologies to an existing Waste Management facility in Knottingley.
Located on the former Croda and Tradebe site in Weeland Road, the business says its proposed Waste to Resource Facility will transform an existing brownfield waste management site while enhancing the region’s recycling capabilities.
The company intends to support the UK’s efforts to recover valuable materials from industrial and chemical waste by consolidating a number of processes into a single integrated facility .
It says its new facilities will secure existing jobs and create further employment, sustaining 30 to 40 permanent jobs.
Kellie-Marie Burston, speaking on behalf of FCC Environment, said: “Our plans place West Yorkshire at the heart of sustainable waste innovation.
“By recovering valuable materials from industrial and chemical waste, we’re supporting the circular economy and creating skilled jobs locally.
“The brownfield site’s strategic location and existing infrastructure make it ideal for this kind of development.
“We’re committed to working closely with the community and stakeholders to ensure the final plans reflect local and regional priorities and deliver long-term benefits.”
Public feedback on the proposals will help inform the business’s final design and planning application, which is expected to be submitted to Wakefield Council later this year.
People can respond to the plans throughout a two-week consultation. A public event outlining the plans will be held on Thursday 4 September 2025 between 2pm and 6pm at Knottingley Club, 29 Hill Top, Knottingley.
