UK Waste Exports - Opportunity or Threat?
June 2011
This new 2011 Market Briefing Report: 'UK Waste Exports - Opportunity or Threat?' has been written in the light of the recent and growing trend for the export of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) from the UK to Northern Europe for recovery. With spot market gate fees at some north European incinerators quoted to be as low as €10-€30 per tonne, export looks to be an attractive option when compared to UK landfill prices.
'UK Waste Exports - Opportunity or Threat?' provides waste companies, funders, waste producers and policy makers, with an overview of the potential RDF production capacity in the UK, and identifies the scale of the over-capacity in the waste incineration market in north Europe including:
- Germany
- Netherlands
- Sweden
- Belgium
Using Tolvik's in-house research, export data from national authorities and market specific information from our European partners, Prognos (Germany) and Profu (Sweden), the report identifies the potential for a ten-fold increase in the level of RDF exports in 2011 compared with 2010 and identifies that such exports have the potential to affect the already fragile investor confidence in the development of new Residual Waste treatment facilities in the UK - particularly those with a strong merchant element.
The 24 page report provides a overview of the key issues relating to RDF exports and aims to stimulate debate across the waste industry - asking whether it is right for policy makers to 'leave it to the market' or whether there are wider environmental and political issues to be considered.
