In addition to any local authority users the companies and businesses located on the same trading estate as SH&P can direct their waste wood, non-recyclable paper, packaging and cardboard to the SH&P plant, thus reducing waste disposal costs and diverting a reusable resource from consuming landfill space. Fibre Fuel Limited, a subsidiary company of SH&P, coverts this non-recyclable fibre, such as waxed cardboard, laminates, photographic paper and mixed papers, into fuel cubes. To improve the calorific value of the fibre fuel, non-PVC plastics are added, up to a volume of 15%. The Fibre Fuel cubes are then used in the SH&P plant, a process which avoids 100,000 tonnes of material being disposed of in landfill<ref name="REN" />. | |||
