About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to Wood Group UK Limited for research assessing the socioeconomic impacts of incinerating Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) contaminated soft furnishing waste.

The project aims to evaluate the cost to Local Authorities and the investment needed to divert Domestic Seating Soft Furnishings (DSSF) waste to incineration, modelling multiple options including incinerating all DSSF, using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanners to identify POPs-contaminated waste for incineration, and exporting DSSF waste as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).

Anticipated outcomes include a 10-year net present value model for each option and a written report with an executive summary explaining cost derivations, assumptions, and research sources.

The contract value is £69,640.
