Current Approach to Waste Management in the UK Historically the majority of waste in the UK has been managed through the use of landfill. This remains the dominant route for waste management although a significant quantity of treatment capacity has been delivered in recent years.

The focus of waste management in the UK is on non-hazardous wastes from households and businesses, because this material has a significant putrescible content and is therefore a generator of greenhouse gases. Waste handled by local authorities is also easier to regulate and control and forms the foundation for developing additional facilities for other waste streams. Waste from businesses is not measured systematically and data on arisings is therefore poor.

Landfill (40.36%)

Treatment (35.89%)

Metal recycling (14.89%)

Incinceration (5.86%)

Use of waste (1.64%)

Spread on land (2.32%)

7

Composition of Municipal Waste

Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW) This waste stream is under the control of the Waste Collection Authority which is the district council, or unitary council depending on the locality. The Waste Collection Authority then passes the waste to the Waste Disposal Authority, which is the county council in a two-tier area.

Quantity of Waste collected by Local Authorities:

There has been a steady reduction in the quantities of Local Authority Collected Waste sent to landfill in the past decade, but there is still significant dependence on landfill:

C&I Waste Management Routes

Significant amounts of C&I waste are sold as “co-products” or back-hauled from storage or retail outlets to be bulked up and sold as recyclate.

This chart shows that in excess of 50% of C&I waste is recycled or composted. A significant quantity (23%) still requires treatment rather than being sent to landfill.

Management of Commercial and Industrial Waste (C&I) This is waste that is not collected by local authorities and is generated by businesses. Information on C&I waste in the UK is of poorer quality than that for local authority collected waste and information is only available from ad-hoc surveys. Contracts for the management of this waste stream are short-term and flexible.

Reduction in waste to landfill has plateaued in England and Wales

10

In some parts of the UK outside of the South East of England, landfill remains cheap and plentiful. It is therefore competitive with reprocessing and recovery operations, although this is likely to change over time.

The quantity of local authority waste sent to landfill has continued to reduce. There remain opportunities to continue this reduction in the case of C&I waste which is not reducing in the same way (source: Environment Agency data)

Waste Infrastructure

11

Disposal infrastructure This comprises a range of facilities including

the following: • Material Recycling Facilities (MRFs) • Mechanical & Biological Treatment

facilities (MBT) • Anaerobic Digestion facilities (AD) • In-Vessel Composting (for food waste) • Open Windrow Composting (for other

green waste) • Incineration • Gasification • Pyrolysis • Landfill

New investment in landfill is now extremely uncommon in the UK and investment is focused on the development of facilities that retrieve value from discarded materials. New treatment facilities must meet the requirements to sufficiently stabilise the waste material so that is not considered to be biodegradable under the Landfill Directive.

Opportunities: Develop New Technologies in the UK

Materials collected from waste processing are currently exported from the UK in significant quantities. The data on the level of exports is weak, but some information is available from HMRC which gives the following picture for 2009:

Glass: In 2009 there was over 2.2 million tonnes of glass waste arising of which 1.8 million tonnes was captured for recycling. Of this, approximately 1.3 million tonnes of glass was processed in the UK and 340,000 tonnes exported. Around 40,000 tonnes is landfilled.

Paper and Card: Approximately 12.3 million tonnes of segregated paper & card waste arises in the UK each year of which 3.6 million tonnes is captured for recycling, with two million tonnes being exported.

Plastics: Total arisings of segregated plastics were 1.46 million tonnes of which about 516,000 tonnes was recycled, including about 390,000 tonnes which was exported for reprocessing.

Cans – Aluminium: Approximately 81,000 tonnes of segregated aluminium cans enter the waste stream of which about 50,000 tonnes are recycled. Recycling follows a complex path but the primary stage usually takes place in the UK.

Cans – Steel: Of about 670,000 tonnes of segregated waste steel cans that are estimated to arise, approximately 227,000 tonnes are recycled in the UK and 190,000 tonnes processed abroad.

For some types of materials, reprocessing capacity in the UK is low and materials are sent abroad to be processed.

A key opportunity is the development of clean, uniform streams of feedstock from the waste stream to be processed in the UK. High quality materials command higher prices from reprocessors.

Case study: UK market research Client: Confidential overseas thermal waste treatment

• Ricardo-AEA advised an overseas thermal waste treatment technology supplier through comprehensive UK waste market research to inform its UK business development and market entrance strategy

C e t Co de t a o e seas t e a aste t eat e ttechnology supplier

p gy• We delivered a review of the UK waste management system, including:

the roles and responsibilities of tiers of local government; issues relating to securing contracts for C&I waste; g g ; the nature of merchant contracts; and a gate fee commentary.

• We developed a regional analysis of MSW and C&I arisings and opinion on how these waste streams are treated and current and future waste infrastructure projects at all stages of their development (pre-permission, permitted, under construction, operational and withdrawn) and information including contractors, operator, contract start date, contract period, technology supplier, capacity, waste type etc.

• Identified potentially suitable localities for developing EfW infrastructure within a defined capacity range.


Project Case Study:Client: Coventry Waste Management Company

• We supported our client in developing a business case to invest in a MRF at the site of its existing EfW facility in Coventry to increase the range of services offered to local authorities and increase recycling levels by pre-

C e t Co e t y aste a age e t Co pa y

y g y g y ptreating waste that currently goes direct to its EfW facility.

• We undertook a regional feedstock assessment to estimate the availability of MSW and similar types of waste from C&I sources. Support included: f S 0 f f Review of existing and pending MSW contracts within 50 miles of the site to identify potential opportunities

for the Company to secure local authority contracts; Analysis of potential C&I residual waste clients within 50 miles with focus on larger producers of waste

including universities and hospitals and clusters of smaller producers with shared infrastructure such as g p pbusiness parks; and

Assessment of competing facilities in the region in operation, proposed or in development, and their available capacity.

• The project found that residual waste procurements in the West Midlands and surrounding regions had advanced significantly in the previous few years. At the time, the market was almost saturated, with few procurements coming online. However, there were two types of opportunity for CSWDC in this market: new contracts that will come out to tender; and interim treatment contracts.

We have seen an increase in overseas investors wanting to understand the UK energy from waste market. In 2014 we were appointed by a European investor looking to enter the UK gasification market to complete market due diligence.

To meet the a strict deadline we brought together a team of experienced consultants to examine and provide: the potential UK market for municipal solid waste (MSW) and commercial and the potential UK market for municipal solid waste (MSW) and commercial and

industrial (C&I) waste arisings; a forecast of demand for new waste infrastructure; an assessment of landfill tax increases, export costs and UK EfW gate fees; an assessment of landfill tax increases, export costs and UK EfW gate fees; composition trends for the UK waste to energy; an assessment of current and future generators eligible for Contract for

advanced thermal treatment market over the next ten years, including developments in the use of syngas as a fuel or to manufacture chemical products.products.

We provided our client with a comprehensive report, allowing them to make timely and informed decisions regarding their approach to entering the UK market.
