Own the waste

Maximise the value of resources

Our infrastructure continues to grow, enabling us to extract the maximum value from our waste with a development plan

The development plan includes energy from waste, refuse derived fuel (RDF), anaerobic digestion locations. Delivery of this strategy requires the right people and we develop our staff as a resource to ensure that we as a company have the necessary skills to deliver the required change for sustainable future.

Where possible, we will be building our additional infrastucture in and around our existing locations.

Produce renewable energy

To add to our portfolio of existing EfW facilities in Lincoln, Nottingham and Kent in 2016 we will add a further site in Buckinghamshire and a second at Herefordshire and Worcestershire. In addition, we are on track to deliver a sixth EfW where we are working with Edinbugh & Midlethian to design, build, operate and finance their 150ktpa Efw.

FCC's EfW has become a major contributor of the UK's green energy supply with the Government's renewable energy target expected to be around 15%. The combination of our RDF facilities and EfW infrastructure is a sustainable alternative to landfilling waste. With energy prices increasing, Energy from Waste is not just about waste management; it forms an important part of the waste industry's future. In addition, installing wind turbines and growing crops for energy production on our existing assets will not only maximise the value of our resources but also reduce costs and our carbon footprint, allowing us to move closer to self-sustaining facilities and maintaining operational efficiencies. Where possible,  we will be building our additional infrastructure in and around our existing locations. Delivery of this strategy requires the right people and we develop our staff as a resource to ensure that we as a company have the necessary skills to deliver the required change for a sustainable future.

Provide 360° solutions

The waste processing division plays vital role in our strategy.

We need to be able to provide our customers with a 360° solution for all waste, including streams that are not able to be reused, recycled or converted for energy production.
