VeoliaUK / The Mechanical Biological Treatment Facility (MBT) at Southwark's Integrated Waste Management Facility in London can handle up to 120,000 tonnes of black bag waste a year.
Any recyclable material is removed before the waste goes through a drying process to give it a higher calorific value for burning. The processed waste is then sent to the nearby SELCHP Energy Recovery Facility to heat and power local homes.
