Future Developments
Advanced Waste Treatment Centre
The first phase of Avondale's Advanced Waste Treatment Centre - the Materials Recycling Facility opens on February 1st, 2012. It will be a springboard for further development taking Avondale beyond its traditional business of landfill services and will firmly root Avondale in recycling and renewables.
Phase Two - Thermal Drying Facility
Phase two will see the introduction of a Thermal Drying Facility to produce a higher quality renewable fuel from RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) and organic matter.
These fuels will be used in the high performance end of the market, such as energy from waste facilities.
