Collected food waste will be used to generate low-carbon energy and soil improvement products. Carbon reductions of around 40% will be gained from deploying an electric fleet of vehicles to remove recycling from the site and using Veolia's local facilities, including its Southwark facility, to process the waste. The measures will continue the venue's existing zero-waste-to-landfill status by treating unrecyclable materials at SELCHP, Veolia's Energy Recovery Facility, to generate electricity for the grid and heat for the communities connected to the 2,800-home district heating scheme. Simon Futcher, Veolia's commercial business development director, said: "Getting this latest partnership across the line at the Home of Cricket is another example of how we can deliver real sustainability and carbon reductions to major sporting venues. By identifying and developing new operations to treat waste at big events, we can close the loop and advance the circular economy.
