HP6208 : Recycling centre, Baltasound

near to Baltasound, Shetland Islands, Great Britain

Recycling centre, Baltasound

Recycling is not always straightforward in Shetland, as there is not enough material to make conventional recycling economic, and shipping material out of Shetland would be counter-productive and use more energy than it would save. Glass (of all colours) is collected and made in 'glasscrete' paving blocks, glass beads for gardens and powdered for use as sand in road-building. The new unit in the right is for recycling clothes.
