Working to support the UK economy to achieve net zero by 2050, Peel NRE specialises in renewable energy, waste-to-value projects, water and materials management, and more.
Its investment in a new construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling plant, designed and engineered by wet processing industry experts CDE, is the latest step in its commitment to combatting climate change and its impacts.
Peel NRE has created a new business, NRE Aggregates, which will operate the plant to produce high-quality recycled construction products.

With the capacity to produce up to 240,000 tonnes of secondary raw materials per year, the plant will be commissioned at Port Salford in Eccles, Greater Manchester, the site of a proposed tri-modal freight facility and distribution park on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal.
When operational the waste recycling plant will process C&D waste to produce in-spec recycled sand and aggregate products which will support the sustainable development of Peel L&P projects, including Port Salford and other developments across Greater Manchester.
Investment in the CDE solution represents Peel NRE's first venture into the wet processing of materials and the next chapter for the new natural resources and energy business.
CDE business development manager Mike Bibby says the project will provide the North West of England with a valuable asset to strengthen the circular economy: “Our purpose at CDE is to create our best world, a ton at a time and for Peel L&P it is to create a more prosperous and sustainable future for all. To that end, our two companies are both intently focused on building a greener tomorrow, so there is a lot of synergy underlying the partnership.
Peel NRE's C&D waste recycling plant is expected to be commissioned this autumn.
