Project Integra - reducing the amount of waste Hampshire sends to landfill
Traditionally household waste has been landfilled. Instead of landfilling, three Energy Recovery Facilities have been developed in Hampshire, the first being Integra North.
The combined capacity of the ERFs has been designed to deal with the large volume of waste produced whilst allowing recycling to grow to the overall target of 40% and beyond.
Processes non-recyclable household waste and supplies up to 14 MW of electricity, which is enough for around 20,600 homes.
