Energy Recovery Facility, Deptford, London. After recyclable material has been salvaged residual waste is burned for energy generation.

After recyclable material has been salvaged residual waste can be sent to energy recovery facilities such as this one at SELCHP where the remaining waste is burned to produce electricity. Rising waste production, diminishing landfill capacity and increasing regulation are issues which affect everyone. In a city the size of London, logistical problems of moving waste to a disposal site add more pressure to find waste management solutions that minimise unnecessary transportation.
