Originally built for Elm Energy in the early 1990s this plant was sold to French business SITA in 1998 and eventually closed in 2000. It was designed to take up to 100,000 tyres per year for incineration with energy being sold to Powergen. It proved very unpopular with local residents and never lived up to expectations.
