Landscaping on site
Published: 01 Jul 2018
As we get closer to completion, our attention has turned to the land east of the facility, in between the Eco Park and the railway line. Although currently used as car parking, storage for construction materials, temporary road and temporary construction offices it will eventually be turned into a landscaped area.

Help bag a saving by recycling your clothes and home textiles
Published: 01 Apr 2018
The lead-up to summer is when many of us refresh our wardrobes and replace old clothes and home textiles. But don't throw out the towel or banish your boots just yet; recycle them and help save money and the environment.
Gasification explained
Published: 01 Apr 2018
Gasification is used to process black bag waste and turn it into energy. Black bag waste is the name given to household waste that can't be recycled.
The gasification facility at the Eco Park is designed to treat up to 55,000 tonnes of black bag waste a year. That's approximately a third of the black bag waste that Surrey residents generate. This will come from homes in northern Surrey, mainly in Spelthorne, Runnymede and Elmbridge.
