About

Kent County Council awarded a contract to Envar Composting Limited for the processing and disposal of food waste via anaerobic digestion.

The contract, valued at AUD 9,179,878.48, requires the AD plant to have valid planning permission and environmental permits for handling up to 24,000 tonnes of food waste per annum from 1 April 2020, increasing to 37,000 tonnes from 16 January 2021, and up to 45,000 tonnes from 2023.

Food waste collected by Waste Collection Authorities in Kent will be transferred from seven Waste Transfer Stations and delivered to the AD plant by third-party waste transfer suppliers at Kent County Council's cost.

The AD plant must receive food waste Monday to Saturday, including public and bank holidays in England and Wales, except Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day unless otherwise agreed.

Deliveries will be made by articulated vehicles, bulk haulage vehicles with de-mountable container loading systems, tipping discharge mechanisms, or non-tipping articulated vehicles, as well as Refuse Compaction Vehicles and split-bodied RCVs with side pods.
