- In 2005/06 10,000 tonnes of recovered
papermaking “sludge” was
deposited in the Group’s landfill site.
- A new EDP was commissioned in May 2007.
- Landfilling of papermaking “sludge” ceased
in 2007/08.
- The new EDP recovers papermaking fibres
in the form of “cake”,
which is considerably dryer than “sludge”.
- Annual output of “cake” will
be 3,750 tonnes.
- Landspreading of papermaking “cake” commenced
in 2007/08.
- A feasibility study indicates that “cake” and
other waste reclaimed materials can be utilised as fuels in a biomass
boiler.
