Waste management company Indaver has proposed a £35 million solvent recycling facility at Syngenta’s manufacturing site in Huddersfield. The plant would process 15,000 tonnes of industrial waste annually, recovering acetonitrile (ACN), a solvent used in agricultural product manufacturing.
Construction would begin in 2026, with operations starting in 2028 if approved. The facility would create 16 new jobs and operate within a closed-loop system, ensuring contained and controlled recycling on-site. Direct pipelines would link Syngenta’s production facility to Indaver for efficient waste processing.
The project aligns with Syngenta’s sustainability goals by reducing waste, lowering carbon emissions, and minimising transport impact. It would be built on previously developed industrial land, supporting Huddersfield’s manufacturing sector while advancing circular economy principles.
