Federal Environment and Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg has unveiled a new state-of-the-art resource recovery facility at Wetherill Park in Sydney – the largest of its kind in Australia.
Chief Executive Officer Sustainable Energy at ResourceCo Ben Sawley says the new plant will divert up to 50-thousand truckloads of waste from landfill, while also reducing reliance on fossil fuels such as coal and gas.
The Wetherill Park plant is licensed to receive up to 250,000 tonnes per annum of dry commercial and industrial and mixed construction and demolition waste, recovering commodities such as metal, clean timber and inert materials, with the balance converted into PEF.
The technology is also eligible for Australian Carbon Credit United (ACCUs) due to its diversion of biomass waste from landfill.
