Kiverco completes handover of £16m
McKinstry Recycling Plant, the largest of its
kind in the UK and Ireland.
John Irwin, Managing Director at Kiverco,
said: “Completing and handing over this
£16m plant to McKinstry Group is a proud
moment for everyone at Kiverco. This is
the largest project we have delivered to
date and one of the most advanced
recycling plants in Europe, reflecting the
strength, capability and expertise of our
entire team.
The plant brings together robust Kiverco
engineering, advanced separation
technology, AI-driven technology and
digital systems to give McKinstry Group
greater visibility, control and performance
across their operation.
Kiverco has completed and handed over a major
new £16m recycling plant to McKinstry Group,
marking the successful delivery of the largest
project in Kiverco’s history and the biggest
plant of its kind in the UK and Ireland.
The new high-performance recycling facility has been designed
and built to support McKinstry Group’s continued growth,
helping the company process waste more efficiently, recover
more valuable materials and reduce the volume of material
sent to landfill.
Representing a significant investment in the future of recycling
infrastructure, the plant combines proven Kiverco engineering
with advanced material separation technology and integrated
digital systems to deliver a robust, efficient and future-focused
solution for one of Northern Ireland’s leading waste
management businesses.
The completion and handover of the plant marks a major
milestone for both Kiverco and McKinstry Group. For Kiverco, it
is the largest and most ambitious project the company has
delivered to date, further strengthening its position as a
leading provider of recycling plant solutions across the UK,
Ireland and international markets.
The plant has been engineered to process high volumes of
mixed waste and recover a wide range of recyclable materials.
It has been designed to improve material flow, increase
recovery rates, enhance product quality and give McKinstry
greater visibility and control across the recycling process. By
recovering more clean, high-quality material, the plant will
help McKinstry improve efficiency, increase material value and
support long-term return on investment.
A key feature of the facility is the inclusion of advanced
screening and separation technology, including a 3D trommel,
which is already generating significant interest among
customers and operators looking to improve performance and
material recovery within their own recycling operations.
Digital technology is also built into the plant, giving operators
improved monitoring, control and insight across the system.
This supports more efficient decision-making, helps optimise
plant performance and ensures McKinstry can continue to
adapt as material streams and operational requirements
evolve.
With over 30 years’ experience in the recycling industry, we
understand what it takes to design and deliver complex, high-
performance plants of this scale. This project demonstrates the
depth of skill and technical capability within Kiverco, and our
ability to deliver intelligent, future-focused solutions that few
others in the industry could.
We are delighted to have worked with McKinstry Group on
such a significant project and look forward to seeing the
impact this plant will have on their business for many years to
come.”
Darren McKinstry, Managing Director at McKinstry Group, said:
“This new plant represents a major investment in the future of
our business. Working with Kiverco has allowed us to develop
a plant that is built around our material, our site and our long-
term ambitions. The new facility will help us increase capacity,
improve efficiency and recover more valuable materials from
the waste we process.
We are very pleased to have reached the completion and
handover stage and look forward to seeing the plant fully
support the next phase of growth for McKinstry Group.”
The successful handover follows a detailed design,
manufacturing and installation process, with Kiverco working
closely with McKinstry Group to deliver a solution tailored to
the specific requirements of the site.
