Attero reveals plans for its new post-separation plant in Moerdijk. The facility will use an innovative concept to enhance material recovery from residual waste, aiming for high efficiencies.
Key Takeaways
- Attero plans to open a new post-separation plant in Moerdijk, aimed at enhancing material recovery from residual waste.
- The facility will achieve high separation efficiencies and improve processing capabilities for municipalities in the southern Netherlands.
- Scheduled to be operational in 2028, the plant supports Attero’s mission to combat resource scarcity and climate change.
- Additionally, the site will feature large-scale CO2 capture, marking it as a highly sustainable waste processing location.
The Dutch waste and recycling company Attero has completed the design for a new post-separation plant at its location in Moerdijk. The facility is based on an innovative concept intended to achieve high separation efficiencies and material qualities. Moreover, this represents a significant step in the sustainable processing of household residual waste.
Attero has been operating a post-separation plant in Wijster since 2010. Here, residual waste from the municipality of Eindhoven, among others, is processed. Last year, a new line was commissioned in Wijster to further improve recycling results. Additionally, the new plant in Moerdijk addresses the request from various Brabant municipalities to establish post-separation capacity within their own province.
Sufficient Capacity For Southern Netherlands
The new facility is expected to provide ample capacity to process residual waste from municipalities in the southern Netherlands that use post-separation methods. Furthermore, the development of this new capacity has been announced multiple times in recent years during market consultations and in discussions with municipalities.
The new post-separation plant is designed to recover a maximum amount of valuable raw materials from residual waste. The facility is scheduled to become operational in 2028. According to Attero’s CEO, Paul Ganzeboom, the development aligns with the company’s ambitions. He stated that it is consistent with their mission to extract as many raw materials and as much renewable energy from waste as possible. As a result, this contributes to combating resource scarcity and climate change.
Combination With CO2 Capture
The Moerdijk location is also distinguished by advanced plans for large-scale CO2 capture. In combination with the new post-separation plant, this is intended to develop the site into a highly sustainable location for residual waste processing in the Netherlands.
