Lothian Dunbar ERF processes up to 325,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste per
year which would otherwise be sent to landfill. With a generating volume of
258 GWh, the facility contributes to Scottish energy security. In line with
the Scottish Government’s ambitions, Viridor has announced a commitment to
reach net zero carbon by 2040 and in addition to be net negative by 2045. The
facility is integral to the Scottish Government’s ambitions to deliver a zero
waste, circular economy which encourages waste reduction, boost recycling and
recovers energy from what remains. Digital Resources Virtual Tour Dunbar ERF,
one of Viridor’s 11-strong fleet of energy recovery facilities, diverts non-
recyclable waste from landfill and generates it into energy and creates
materials for use in construction. Discover how your non-recyclable waste is
used to generate enough energy to power over 70,000 homes by Dunbar ERF. Join
us for a virtual tour to discover how the process works and find out what
happens to your non-recyclable waste after you put it in the bin. Go on a
virtual guided tour!
