Will any odours be released from the composting facility?
No. It is an indoor processing facility optimized to minimize the risk of odour. All vehicles depositing organic material will go through a set of air-lock doors when entering and exiting the tipping area inside the building. All air leaving the building must pass through a bio-scrubber, a bio-filter and then is sent out through a 30 metre dispersion stack. This ensures that there are no odours emitted from the facility. Part of the Ministry of Environment’s requirement for the plant‘s operation is that odours cannot be detectable from the property boundary.
