Our SRF plant, which was developed and opened in 2014, processes up to 90,000 tonnes of material a year. This material traditionally would have been landfilled and by processing results in a significant saving on carbon dioxide emissions per year compared to disposing in a landfill.
Material is sourced from a number of local authorities and commercial waste producers in the north west of England and is free from food waste and other putrescible materials.
The facility is capable of extracting a variety of recyclable materials such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals, many types of plastics such as PP, PET, HDPE and LDPE, paper and cardboard.
The non-recyclables are used to produce a high quality Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) which is used as a replacement for fossil fuels in the cement manufacturing industries.
The SRF is exported to Aalborg Portland, Aalborg, Denmark.
