The Welsh first minister has visited a new recycling facility that is being set up in the north of the country.
Ieuan Wyn Jones travelled to the new plant, which is based in Shotton, yesterday (Thursday, May 27th).
Materials such as plastic, paper, metals and cardboard will be recycled at the new centre when it opens next year.
Up to 200,000 tonnes of recyclable waste can be stored at the new facility, which will create 160 jobs after its completion in January 2011.
“Green jobs will play a key part in the development of the Welsh economy and modern recycling facilities like this one will be central to this,” said Mr Wyn Jones.
“The Welsh Assembly Government is delighted that we have been able to support this latest investment, which is an important boost for the economy of north-east Wales and will deliver long term benefits for the region.”
