The adjacent municipal waste treatment and recycling plant, being delivered by VT Group as preferred bidders in the Wakefield MDC waste services PFI procurement, have received full planning permission and the delivery contract with the Council is close to signing.
The delivered VT Group infrastructure is expected to include state-of-the-art autoclave facility and anaerobic digestion for recovering residual waste, garden waste composting and a materials recovery facility (MRF) for separating materials for recycling from Wakefield's household waste. An HWRC and visitor and education centre is also expected. It is expected that the VT Group plant will produce a number of discrete recyclate streams including paper & card, dense plastic & plastic film, glass, green waste compost, fibre, and aggregates.
