Dozens of jobs could be created if plans for a plastic recycling facility in Glasgow are given the go-ahead.
The facility is being proposed for vacant land at Cardonald Business Park on Fifty Pitches Road.
It would operate 24-hours a day, all year round and would employ 56 people.
When fully operational, the plant would receive up to six lorry-loads of plastic waste bales per day.
