Waste Volume

A Parc tower can process 25,000 tonnes of waste per year.

• Parc can successfully deal with the volume of waste produced by householder and industry
• Parc can process the mixture of waste coming from householders
• Parc can process the mix of waste coming from trade and industry
• Parc is flexible and has dealt with changes in the waste stream over time

Since beginning operation in 2002 Parc has seen great changes in the waste stream coming from houses and has been used to process the waste stream coming from food manufacturing and mixed waste from a supermarket chain.

To increase the volume of waste handled, you simply build more towers.

Tower building options

There are a number of options regading where towers are built:

1. Build numerous facilities with small number of towers close to waste production.
2. Build larger tower complex in a central location.
3. Combine big and larger Parc complexes depending upon waste stream and geographic features of the area.

Segregation plant
At the Thornley plant most of the recyclable seperation equipment is on site. This does not need to be the case. It might be more cost and carbon effective to have all the seperation equipment in a central location being fed by Parc towers placed closer to the place of waste production.
