Gatwick Airport and DHL Supply Chain have flipped the \u201cOn\u201d switch for the airport\u2019s new waste management plant, making Gatwick the first airport to turn airport waste into energy onsite.
\nDHL\u2019s new \u00a33.8 million waste plant not only disposes of, but also converts waste into energy to heat Gatwick\u2019s waste management site and power the site\u2019s water recovery system. The plant could save the airport \u00a31,000 in energy and waste management costs per day.
\nThe plant processes food waste or anything mixed with it, such as packaging, cups and meal trays from international transport vehicles. Waste is turned into a dry-powdered organic material that fuels the generators.
\nStewart Wingate, Gatwick CEO explained that, \u201cthe waste plant turns a difficult waste problem into a sustainable energy source. We\u2019re confident it sets the benchmark for others to follow in waste management.\u201d
\nMartin Willmor, senior vice president, Specialist Services, UK, DHL Supply Chain, pointed out that, \u201cdisposing of Category 1 waste can be very costly and time-consuming, but our new waste management and recycling system is a huge step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
