Renewi secures long-term extension for specialist Maasvlakte site in the

Renewi plc (LSE: RWI) has secured a long-term extension for its specialist Maasvlakte landfill site in the Netherlands which will secure this necessary outlet for the next 20 years.

The site is operated by Renewi’s Mineralz business, which is part of its Monostreams Division. It is completely unique as it is the only dedicated ‘class 1’ landfill in the Netherlands for the disposal of hazardous materials. It offers safe and unique immobilisation and storage for materials such as fly ashes and low level NORM . This means that the site treats and safely disposes of materials that other outlets cannot, therefore making it an essential partner to the energy from waste sector and other industries.

As there are few other disposal options for hazardous materials, input volumes are increasing, particularly in highly leaching . The current site holds 4.5 million m3 of this specialist waste.

In the Netherlands there is established policy and legislation to ensure that only waste streams which cannot be recycled or incinerated are sent to landfill. Renewi is also well placed to recycle and recover non- hazardous waste to increase diversion from landfill.

Bas Blom, Managing Director of Renewi’s Monostreams Division said: “We treat highly hazardous end-of-life materials which cannot be recycled to ensure they are treated and disposed of in a safe manner. We are delighted to have secured this extension and be able to continue this important work over the next 20 years. In addition to providing a necessary outlet for these end-of-life materials, the extension will preserve ongoing profitability within the Monostreams Division for the long term while simultaneously postponing landfill aftercare costs at the site.”
