This is not a single technology, but rather a combination of sorting and treatment technologies. Biffa’s proposed MBT facility has the potential to bring major benefits to West Sussex, by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill by up to a massive 80 per cent and using waste to produce valuable environmentally-friendly fuels. This in turn will help West Sussex to avoid the increasing financial penalties levied on waste sent to landfill and reduce the carbon emissions produced in processing the County’s waste. MBT is a proven and reliable way of handling waste and Biffa operates similar facilities to that proposed for Brookhurst Wood in Leicester and on the Isle of Wight, and the specific technology proposed is used on a number of sites in Germany. Biffa anticipates that the facility will be able to serve West Sussex’s needs for 25-years.
