FEEDSTOCK DEAL By MICHELLE SLATER

WASTE management company Citywide has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Opal Australian Paper to supply feedstock for a large scale energy from waste project at Maryvale. The project is being developed by a consortium comprising Opal Australian Paper, SUEZ Australia and New Zealand, Tribe, Masdar and Acciona. Citywide chief executive officer Chris

Campbell said the agreement meant the company could supply the feedstock via a rail link, and potentially participate as an equity partner. “Consistent with Citywide’s Waste and Recycling Strategy, participation in this project is about our commitment to finding alternatives to landfill for non-recyclable waste,� Mr Campbell told The Express. “It’s about the relentless pursuit of more sustainable solutions for effective waste management that help shape

healthy, safe, thriving liveable cities and communities.� The feedstock would be supplied from waste generated from inner-Melbourne municipalities and businesses, made up of a mixture of household waste and business waste. However, details over the length of the supply agreements were yet to be negotiated. Mr Campbell said Victorians sent 4.6 million tonnes of material to landfill last year.

“Even with the best recycling practices, there is still a lot of material that needs disposal,� he said. “The EfW facility will allow us to divert waste from landfill by turning it into something that can benefit the whole community.� The project will process non-recyclable residual waste to create energy which will reduce the mill’s reliance on the grid, freeing enough gas and electricity to supply more than 50,000 homes.
