Willshee’s recognises the value of the Planning Inspectorate’s decision to approve the development of the new Energy Recovery Facility adjacent to our Swadlincote site.
The facility will be operated by a separate contractor with a proven track record of running Energy from Waste facilities of similar scale and technology to that of the SERF. It is designed to create a clean, safe and secure supply of renewable energy by recovering energy from residual, non-recyclable waste – helping to reduce reliance on landfill, lower carbon emissions, and ultimately support the UK’s transition to a more sustainable, circular economy.
Willshee’s will supply a significant proportion of this waste fuel, and co-locating the facility next to our operations is expected to help reduce vehicle movements across the wider region, while supporting the proximity principle of managing waste as close as possible to the source of waste.
Willshee’s current operations will continue alongside the new facility and remain fully compliant with all existing permits and regulations.
