What We Do page content area
Cory can process up to 850,000 tonnes of non-recyclable (also known as residual) waste a year at our Riverside 1 energy from waste (EfW) facility.
This residual waste comes from local authorities and commercial & industrial customers and is sent to our EfW facility via five river-based waste transfer stations.
Situated in Belvedere, Riverside 1 is one of the largest operational EfW facilities in the UK and the only one with river infrastructure for receiving waste.
An important by-product of the incineration process is steam. This steam is used to drive a turbine in the EfW facility that can produce partly renewable baseload electricity to power the equivalent of 195,000 homes or a town the size of Norwich.
