Scotia Business Park
One of the largest Clinical Waste Incinerators to be developed in the UK in the last 20 years, Scotia Business Park operates under the name Clinitek (Stoke) LLP and is referred to as their Stoke-on-Trent facility[1].
The facility received some waste in 2022 from Andusia (acting as the sole supplier to the plant of up to 16,000 tonnes per yearannum[2][3] ) but no annual reports have been submitted since, and the plant is thought to have failed at commssioning.

Plant Description
Construction commenced and was targeted for completion in Q3 2021 at a reported cost of £25 million. The technology provider is Incinco via their FS2000 treatment unit (2,000kg/hr capacity[5]) with construction oversight by Cobalt Energy[1].
At 8,000 hrs annual operation the maximum annual throughput would be 16,000 tonnes per annum, although the annual report for 2023 suggests a capacity of 1.5 tonnes per hour (or 12,000 tonnes per year).
The construction was reported as completed in March 2022 with full operation planned by the summer of 2022[4].
P3P Partners have developed the facility under their subsidiary Waste Energy Power Partners (WEPP) with finance by Equitix.
Planning Permission was granted in March 2020 on the site of an old Biomass EfW site[1].
This is the second plant developed under the same arrangements, the first being Haylers End Energy Recovery Plant and often referred to as their Malvern plant, which has half the design throughput capacity of this facility.
