What is the market size?
The UK market for imported plywood is currently circa 20 million sheets per annum.
The existing PIM line at Bedwas could produce 300,000 sheets of eco-sheet if deployed on a 24/7 basis (allowing for maintenance cycles).
Using this output some 30 plus PIM lines would be required to substitute only 50% of the current imported plywood with eco-sheet.
This suggests that PIM lines are a good commercial project on a financial basis without the added benefits to the environment of less trees being cut down and less plastic waste going to landfill.
