THE PROCESS

 

stages

  1. Unsegregated household waste is shredded then fed into the top of one of the towers.
  2. It is stirred up and air is added. This allows the natural composting process to begin.
  3. Once it is mature enough the waste drops down into the next level of the tower then into the bottom level.
  4. During the time in the tower the waste is allowed to reach and maintain a temperature to meet animal by-products regulations.
  5. Typically after six days it is ready. It is then extracted from the bottom layer of the tower and sent into a material seperation systems. This extracts glass, non-ferrous and ferrous metal, plastic bags fabric and the soil conditioner.

 

How much does it divert from landfill?

Parc can divert up to 85% from landfill.

 

Is it LATS compliant?

Parc is LATS compliant and can be up and running in 12-months.

 

How much waste can a Parc tower process?

A Parc tower can process 25,000 tonnes of waste per year. To process more you simply build more towers.

 

What does Parc mean

  1. Increased recycling: The material extracted from the Parc towers would previously have all gone to landfill.
  2. The ability to hit LATS targets: The Parc towers are planner and community friendly allowing them to be built in time to meet LATS obligations.
  3. Reduced carbon footprint: The Parc towers produce much less carbon dioxide than waste incinerators, can be placed near the sites of waste production reducing waste miles and preventing biologically active waste going into landfill.
  4. More soil: Parc towers produce soil products that can be used
    to remediate brownfield sites. Every country on the planet is subject to soil erosion. Parc uses waste food and other biodegradable waste to make more soil.
  5. Biofuel: using Parc soil product as a growing medium on brownfield sites allows you to grow a biofuel crop (short rotation willow or a bio-diesel crop like oilseed rape) without using up agricultural land.
