What is this facility and how does it work?

Dry materials such as mixed plastics, timbers and textiles are a recoverable resource with a high level of embedded energy that can be used in the production of alternative fuel.

At our SUEZ-ResourceCo Alternative Fuels facility, these dry items are turned into alternative fuels for use in existing power stations or cement kilns. The feedstock materials are sourced from construction activities, refurbishments and site fit-outs, manufacturing facilities and other pre-sorted waste streams.

The PEF produced from these materials has significant calorific value. It also offers substantial carbon and renewable energy benefits, including a reduction in fossil fuel use and landfill emissions and the capacity to secure renewable energy certificates.
