Energy recovery facilities provide a sustainable solution for waste once the options of reduction, reuse and recycling are exhausted
Our Energy Recovery Facilities (ERFs) are regulated by the Environment Agency, operate within the strict emissions limits of the Waste Incineration Directive and have been recognised by all the relevant regulatory bodies as a safe, efficient method of treating residual waste.
