Corrboard - part owned by GWP Group - has invested £5.5m in the creation of a sustainable energy generation facility fuelled by organic waste.
The investment in CorrBoard Bioenergy (CB Bio) by Swanline & McLaren Packaging will allow for the production of carbon neutral corrugated cardboard for use at GWP’s manufacturing plant in Cricklade, Wiltshire.
There is also the potential for some of the waste needed for the 6,400 megawatt / annum energy plant to be sourced from GWP’s packaging users who require compliant food waste disposal. This, in turn, would create a robust circular economy.
The key points and benefits, as covered by this video, are as follows:
• Worlds first anaerobic digestion renewable energy plant to facilitate energy for the manufacture of corrugated sheet board
• Fuelled by packaging, food and drink waste in a circular economy
• Capacity to process 25,000 tonnes of organic waste
• Waste converted to renewable energy to power the creation of CO2 neutral raw material
• 6,400 megawatt per annum output
• Enough energy production to sustain 1,500 homes, or twice Corrboard UK’s consumption (when manufacturing corrugated material)
• Circular solution from process waste, to energy, to material, to packaging, to process waste… and around again!
• Zero waste to landfill
• Licensed to process all vegetable based waste and ABP 2 / ABP 3 certified product
• Spent feedstock is processed into PAS110 certified quality fertiliser for spreading on local fields for crop generation
