Waste for Energy

Waste for Energy

Agecko work closely with each customer to ensure that all waste is segregating at source. However, there is always an element of unavoidable ‘combustible residual waste’ (the remaining un- recyclable materials). Waste for energy or recovering energy from this waste is a ‘greener’ alternative to the traditional landfill disposal sites.

Residual waste can collected in various sized bins and skips and taken to material recycling facilities, where further segregation of recyclable material is made.  All the remaining waste is baled ready for transporting to a ‘Waste to Energy Plant’ where the bales are incinerated, under carefully controlled conditions, creating energy.  For example;

  • Steam which can be used to drive turbines that in turn generate electricity.
  • Electricity which can be fed into the National Grid
  • Heat which can be utilised locally

Waste for energy isn’t just a way to dispose of rubbish, it works alongside high recycling rates to meet landfill diversion targets, striving to achieve ‘Zero Waste to landfill’.  It is a way to recover valuable resources as 90% of the metal that comes from the bottom ash (remaining after incineration) can be reused and the remaining clinker can be used in the construction industry.

Waste for Energy is an effective and alternative option for replacing fossil fuels and reducing CO2 emissions, making environmental and economic sense.
