Indaver plans greater volume of waste incineration

INDAVER is planning to significantly increase the amount of household waste it proposes to incinerate in the environs of Cork harbour, it has been revealed.

The disclosure comes as the company prepares to lodge a new planning application to build a municipal incinerator in Ringaskiddy, with a capacity to burn 140,000 tonnes a year.

Indaver managing director John Ahern said the company originally envisaged processing 100,000 tonnes a year. “We have increased that projected figure because there has been an increase in the population in Cork and an increase in the volume of waste.”
