Tarmac Schematic for Dunbar
Notes
- There is no waste return for the Dunbar site to SEPA available for the most recent periods.
- The schematic and detail on the Tarmac website (from 2018) showed that the site used alternative fuels to substitute over 40% of its energy needs.
- It focused on sewage sludge, liquid wastes and tyres.
- In early 2019 Tarmac reported the signing of an agremeent with local waste company Hamilton Waste and Recycling to supply SRF to the plant.
