Independent waste management business Coastal Recycling is set to become the first in Devon to turn waste once destined for landfill or incineration into coal-replacing fuel. Using an innovative biotechnology solution from Advetec, Coastal will turn around 5,200 tonnes of the black bag waste it collects each year into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF). SRF is a highly sought-after fuel that emits 95% less CO2e than coal and is helping some of the world's most carbon-heavy industries reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. Coastal will take delivery of an Advetec system comprising two aerobic digester units, known as XO22s, at its processing site in Torrington, Northern Devon. The system will operate at full capacity, processing up to 20 tonnes of non-recyclable waste on-site every day and creating 10 tonnes of SRF daily. Investment in this technology will help Coastal offer environmental improvements to its 1,600 customers across Devon.
