An Energy from Waste Facility uses the residual waste unsuitable for recycling and composting to make heat and power. Waste from your residual waste bin, instead of being sent to a landfill site, is delivered to a facility where it is converted to heat under controlled conditions used to generate electrical and/or thermal energy.
We propose to build an Energy from Waste Facility adjacent to the Integrated Waste Management Facility in Vanguard Way, Battlefield, Shrewsbury. The facility would treat approximately 90,000 tonnes of waste from Shropshire per year. This would be about 45% of the municipal waste produced in the county and produce power enough for 10,000 homes. With this facility in place, along with the expansion of recycling in the County, instead of landfilling 65% of household waste in 2005/6 this is expected to be reduced to 5% by 2015.
