A farm plastics recycling firm is continuing its recovery from a massive fire two years ago – pressing ahead with a new multi-million-pound project that is being backed in part by South of Scotland Enterprise (Sose).

Solway Recycling suffered significant damage during the blaze in May 2020 at its Dumfries base, but returned to operations within four weeks, and has since been busy rebuilding, and is working on a £3 million project to install a new product manufacturing facility and replace workshops and office units.

Sose has provided £500,000 towards the initiative, which will see a new production line introduced sustaining 21 existing jobs and creating six roles, with a further half-dozen expected to be generated over the next two years.
