WEPP is installing and operating a high temperature clinical waste treatment facility on a derelict, former incinerator site off Hangman’s Lane in Worcestershire.

The plant will be capable of treating 8,000 tonnes of waste a year and will be created within the structure of a derelict incinerator previously used for the destruction of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Around 13 permanent jobs will be created once the plant is operational.

How the plant works:

1. Waste is separated by the customer into appropriate categories and collected 
2. On site, the waste is weighed and recorded, and kept secure until thermal treatment
3. Complying with UK regulations the waste is emptied directly into the process plant
4. The result is incinerator residues of bottom ash and fly ash; bottom ash is classed as recycled and approved contractors for other processes
5. Steam created by the process is used to clean the waste bins and generate electricity
