Welsh councils Monmouthshire and Cardiff have become the first in the UK to start sending used absorbent hygiene products based on nonwovens to recycling specialist Knowaste’s facility in West Bromwich in the Midlands, as part of a six month trial.
The trial is designed to determine the most efficient ways of handling the AHP material stream and evaluate the level of demand from householders for the service.
If successful it could lead to a contract being tendered for the material stream for the whole of Wales.
