financial close

The contract, awarded by Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group (MWRRG), a government entity in the State of Victoria, includes the financing, engineering, construction, commissioning and operation for 15 years, with a possible extension of five years.The South Eastern Organics Processing Facility will have an annual processing capacity of 120,000 tonnes of waste per year, the equivalent of 12,000 truckloads of waste. It is expected to abate more than 65,000 tonnes of CO₂-e emissions annually; cutting 85 per cent of the emissions the waste would have generated in landfill, the same as removing about 13,900 cars from the road each year.The proposed facility will be the most advanced of its type in Victoria and will produce approximately 50,000 tonnes of high grade compost each year.
