A Dundee-based recycling company is planning to transform its premises in an old warehouse into a “visionary” £1 million hi-tech eco-centre. Tayside Recyclers, based at South Dudhope Mill in Douglas Street, collects unwanted goods from businesses and individuals then repairs or recycles them and finds buyers for the end products. But now the company is planning to take its environmentally-friendly firm one step further by transforming its building into a state-of-the-art beacon for green technology in Dundee. The plans, drawn up by Dundee architect Sam Penn, include improving the building's insulation and thermal efficiency and adding solar panels and a wind turbine. Now Tayside Recyclers hopes to raise the money needed to fund the improvements through grants from the Scottish Executive, the EU and other environmental organisations.
