How to win: Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) design and build project - Lancashire Renewables

About this contract

Lancashire Renewables Limited (LRL) operates and manages two waste treatment facilities on behalf of its public sector shareholders. LRL is undertaking a strategic review of the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) at Farington Waste Recovery Park, Sustainability Way, Leyland, PR26 6TB. The existing MRF was commissioned approximately 15 years ago. It processes dry mixed recyclables but is increasingly constrained by its design capacity, ageing infrastructure, process bottlenecks, variable output quality and limited ability to recover additional materials. LRL currently manages approximately 65,000 tonnes per annum of dry mixed recyclables, of which approximately 50,000 tonnes per annum can be processed at Farington; the balance is diverted off site. The existing plant operates at an estimated average throughput of approximately 16 tonnes per hour and does not currently target paper, card, cartons or flexible plastics as separate output streams. Changes to waste composition, end-market quality requirements and national policy initiatives, including Extended Producer Responsibility, the Deposit Return Scheme and Simpler Recycling, create a need for greater capacity, recovery, quality an
