01
Landfill Diversion
Reducing a community's waste sent to landfill has several positive impacts. Environmentally, it decreases landfill use, which lowers greenhouse gas emissions and reduces soil and water contamination. It also conserves natural resources by promoting recycling and composting.
02
Local Energy Supply
A local energy and heat supply from an Energy-from-Waste Facility can significantly benefit the community. It provides a reliable and renewable source of energy, potentially reducing dependence on external energy sources and stabilising energy costs. This can lead to lower utility bills and enhanced energy security for residents and businesses.

Job Creation
Community Engagement
An energy-from-waste facility can create jobs that positively impact the local community in several ways. It generates employment opportunities across various roles, from facility operations and maintenance to administrative and technical positions. This can reduce local unemployment and stimulate economic growth. Additionally, job creation often leads to increased spending in the community, boosting local businesses and services. Furthermore, the presence of a facility can foster skills development and provide training opportunities for residents, enhancing long-term career prospects and contributing to overall community well-being.
An energy-from-waste facility can foster increased community engagement in several ways. By involving residents in discussions about waste management, renewable energy, and environmental sustainability, the facility can raise awareness and encourage public participation in local environmental initiatives. Educational programs and facility tours can further deepen community understanding and support for sustainable practices. Additionally, transparent communication and regular updates about the facility’s operations can build trust and a sense of ownership among community members, helping to align the facility’s goals with the community’s values and concerns.
