New waste facility for Colchester

17 October 2007
 
A major new waste treatment facility that will help Essex increase its recycling rates and reduce the amount of biodegradable waste sent to landfill is to be built near Colchester.

Permission for the mechanical and biological treatment (MBT) and anaerobic digestion (AD) plants was granted by Essex County Council to Cory Environmental. The plants will be built at Stanway Hall Quarry, south west of Colchester, on a site identified in the waste local plan.

The AD plant will process up to 50,000 tonnes a year of green waste and organic kitchen waste and will generate electricity for the local area. The MBT plant will process up to 250,000 tonnes a year of other household waste, after dry recyclables such as paper and glass have been removed from the waste.

The plants will be in wholly enclosed buildings and will have a lifespan of some 25 years. The residue from the plants will be used to restore the 7.3M cubic metre quarry for recreational purposes.

Gerald Owen, planning and development manager for Cory, said: ‘These latest plans confirm our commitment to reducing the amount of biodegradable waste sent to landfill, by bringing forward integrated and sustainable solutions to waste management. 'The new facilities will complement the current recycling facilities and the ongoing kerbside recycling operated in the county and will play a key role in achieving the sustainable waste management targets for Essex.’
