Reprocessing

To use waste as a resource there is a need to develop new sorting facilities including MRFs and MBT facilities and reprocessing capacity for specific materials streams. There is a growing role for new technologies, especially those that are able to produce energy from waste and other fuels without direct combustion, such as gasification, pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion.

Our work with clients includes undertaking research, building strategies, assisting with planning and funding applications and managing projects. We understand about ROCs, double ROCs and renewable heat obligations.
