Derwen Group, located in Neath Abbey, South West Wales, offers a range of recycling and waste management solutions. It is the only one of its kind in south wales, running since 1995, processing C&D and C&I materials.

This plant allowed Derwen to expand their business and gave several other local waste companies a place to bring their materials, instead of landfilling or travelling long distances to recycle elsewhere.
The products recovered from the plant are:
