Cardiff, Caerphilly, Newport, Monmouthshire, Vof G Councils want a big burner which Ties them into a very expensive PFI for 25 YEARS to burn waste rather than improve recycling rates. The Prosiect Gwyrdd councils are striving towards a feeble 65% recycling by 2025 with at least a further 5% being ASH from the incinerator. Many other councils have already exceeded 70% recyling rates. “Prosiect Gwyrdd” = Scam Green = WAG Welsh Waste Policy = incinerators

Newport’s cabinet gave the go ahead to allow an Assembly-owned site on Tatton Road to be considered for the project. The site, in the industrial area of Queensway Meadows, is likely to be the only publicly owned site earmarked for the plant.

So what are Norfolk and Cambridgeshire going to do with the MBT residue then?
Also, have they undertaken a life-cycle assessment of MBT against straightforward mass-burn incineration with energy recovery? MBT usually underperforms in comparison.
Regarding the MBT residue, I cannot comment on this particualr plant but if the plant operates like the Premier Advanced Recycling Centre (Parc) in Durham, the residue is a soil conditioner. Parc also extracts metals, glass and plastic bag waste for recycling. You can read more about Parc at www.recyclingre-invented.com or on the Parc blog at http://parcnotes.blogspot.com/.
This is a much better way to go than incineration. We do not need the massive release of carbon dioxide produced by buring waste.
