The investment will create more than 100 new jobs at the former Toyoda Gosei factory in Swansea.

It will also expedite the country’s commitment towards zero waste and net zero emissions by 2050.

Wales climate change Minister Julie James said: “I am very pleased to see this facility being developed in Wales. It aligns with our commitment to move to a zero waste, net zero carbon Wales and is well timed as we work to bring in the new Workplace Recycling Regulations in April next year, which will further improve the supply of high-quality plastic for recycling.”
