The Suffolk energy-from-waste facility processes 295,000 tonnes of domestic and commercial waste each year – generating enough electricity to power 40,000 homes. Our objective is to provide an alternative to waste being sent to landfill and reduce the associated cost to Suffolk tax-payers, turning non-recyclable waste into energy.
