The facility, which is located at Sutton Courtenay, will treat non-hazardous commercial and industrial waste collected from businesses in the county and will separate materials with residual waste used to create a refuse derived fuel, letsrecycle.com reports.
FCC Environment head of regional development Paul Dumpleton said that the business model for FCC Environment has been to develop modern waste processing infrastructure to ensure it can offer its business customers methods of extracting value from their waste and diverting as much material from landfill as possible.
"The Sutton Courtenay MRF is the next piece in this infrastructure jigsaw and will enable us to provide top class services in the Oxfordshire area," Dumpleton added.
The MRF has a capacity of 100,000 tonnes of waste per year and is developed on the site of the company’s existing landfill.
The facility, which was constructed by Jones Brothers Civil Engineering UK, will get the internal MRF separation equipment from CP Group.
Jones Bros contracts manager Geraint Thomas said that this is the first MRF facility the company has built for FCC, and the latest project as part of a three-year framework contract covering southwest England.
"We’re pleased to complete the work on schedule and on budget, continuing our strong working relationship with FCC," Thomas added.
