Fornax Environmental Solutions is developing a network of high temperature thermal treatment (HTTT) facilities across the UK, designed to safely and effectively treat clinical and hazardous waste while generating renewable energy. Utilising Best Available Technology and Techniques, these facilities aim to address a critical gap in the UK's waste management sector, which has seen years of underinvestment. By building small-scale, R1-rated facilities strategically located within regions, Fornax intends to reduce transport emissions and provide cleaner, greener, and safer solutions for waste management.
The company's first facility is under development in County Durham, North East England, on a brownfield site at Aycliffe Business Park. This facility received planning consent in December 2022 and is designed to treat up to 10,500 tonnes of waste annually, generating 6MW of energy. Approximately 70% of the waste will be clinical waste from hospitals, labs, and care homes, with the remaining 30% being hazardous waste from industrial settings.
The generated heat can be fed into local district heating systems, supporting Net Zero ambitions for nearby organisations. Fornax is committed to operating under strict environmental and regulatory standards, with on-site laboratory testing ensuring compliance with Environment Agency guidelines. The company aims to be a good neighbour in the communities where it operates, fostering open dialogue and building trusting relationships.
They are also keen to collaborate with local educational institutions to develop graduate and apprenticeship schemes, inspiring the next generation in sustainable waste treatment.
