Local MP visits Enval’s engineering site

Enval welcomed a visit by the Luton South MP, Gavin Shuker, at its Luton engineering site. Mr Shuker was invited to visit the facility and discuss the growing company’s background and aims.

Enval is a modern environmental services company, focused on providing specialist solutions across industrial, commercial and municipal sectors to deliver value from waste. Enval’s patented technology offers a genuine recycling route for plastic/aluminium laminate packaging that has, to date, been unrecyclable.

The award-winning technology separates the material into its constituent components, producing clean aluminium ready for introduction into the secondary aluminium supply chain and hydrocarbons that can be used as fuel or chemical feedstock. The process offers a much more beneficial outcome for waste that would otherwise be sent to landfill or incinerated.

Mr Shuker met with Enval’s Business Development Director, David Boorman, and Chairman, Martin Lamb, to learn about the company’s plans for its first commercial scale plant. Luton’s strong industrial and manufacturing heritage was a key reason why Enval chose to site its engineering site in the town and as the company expands, it hopes to gain further benefit from this pedigree.

“Enval’s technology brings a sustainable end-of-life solution to flexible laminated packaging widely used by the food and beverage industry,” said David Boorman. “We are delighted that Mr Shuker has taken an interest in our technology and, as we bring our commercial plant to market, Enval looks forward to creating more jobs for Luton.”

Luton South MP Gavin Shuker said, “I was very pleased to visit Enval’s engineering site in High Town to see their innovative approach to recycling. As Shadow Minister for Water and Waste, I am well aware of the growing problem we face as a country, but Enval’s specialist knowledge is a significant step forward for us. The process developed by Enval is not incineration or combustion and so it is clean, avoiding the production of green-house gases or toxic emissions. This is an industry that is growing and is precisely the new-age thinking we need in this town. I genuinely hope that Enval’s first commercial plant can be based here in Luton.”
