Details of the application
The Environment Agency has received a new bespoke application for an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 from Enva E-Waste England Limited.
Application number
EPR/KP3723MB/A001
Regulated facility type
5.3 A(1) a) (ii): The proposed development will involve redevelopment of the existing site for a commercial end use, encompassing a new WEEE recycling facility that will comprise of one large unit and associated external storage and will accept a range of WEEE products including fridges, freezers, cookers and small domestic appliances (SDA) to undergo recycling treatment. There are two types of recycling treatment that will be carried out at the facility: one for Waste Temperature Exchange Equipment (WTEE), consisting of fridges and freezers, and one for Small Mixed WEEE (SMW). WTEE processing includes pre-destruction in the form of degassing, followed by destruction which incorporates shredding and fraction segregation. SMW recycling begins with a manual dismantling procedure to remove certain components (for example, those containing hazardous substances, such as batteries), and waste SMW then undergoes shredding and fraction segregation. Processing capacity at the facility is proposed to be 35,000 tonnes per annum of Waste Temperature Exchange equipment, and 40,000 tonnes of SMW per annum. WEEE received at the facility will also include solar panels – such items will be stored on site, pending transfer to relevant waste treatment facilities for treatment / disposal. Solar panels will not undergo treatment at the Dartford facility
