With the closing of refinements, we will simply be shredding the waste (<300mm), drying it for 14 to 21 days and then sending it out as a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). We are looking to tender the opportunity for the treatment and disposal of roughly 30,000 tonnes per annum of the (RDF) that will be produced from Municipal Solid Waste.
