capacity for treating
150,000 tons of waste
each year
installing photovoltaic plates on the rooftop

This facility makes it possible to avoid the
great expenses involved in sending resi-
dual waste to landfill sites which implies
savings for the local government of millions
of pounds a year in tax hikes and fines im-
posed by the European Union.
FCC Environment also manages the Alling-
ton Energy from Waste plant in Kent which
handles 500,000 tons of waste every year;
and the Eastcroft (Nottingham) plan which
produces thermal energy from steam which
then provides heating for thousands of ho-
mes, offices, commercial enterprises and
public buildings in the city.
