17 Nov 2022 --- Clean Planet Energy is partnering with private equity firm Crossroads Real Estate to fund Clean Planet Energy’s flagship ecoPlant, currently under construction in Teesside, Northeast England. The plant will be the first of ten new ecoPlants that Crossroads Real Estate and Clean Planet Energy are jointly seeking to build and operate across the UK. The new joint venture aims to tackle the plastic waste crisis. Clean Planet Energy says the project could lead to over £400 million (US$475 million) of new UK investment deployed for the future construction of these facilities. “Crossroads Real Estate is focused on making a sustainable difference with its impact investments, delivering a vision of a greener United Kingdom and beyond. They have significant status in the UK and Europe and are committed to green opportunities. With this, they make the perfect partner to expand our UK vision and build out our UK ecoPlant program,” Bertie Stephens, Group CEO, tells PackagingInsights.
