The Port of Wisbech has applied for a bespoke permit that will allow it to store up 75,000 tonnes of baled waste a year.

Port of Wisbech Ltd, which has owned the site since 2004, applied to the Environment Agency at the start of last year for the specialist permit to allow the operation of a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)Waste Transfer Station at the port.

An application document drawn up by Tetra Tech Ltd on behalf of Port of Wisbech Ltd explained that the intention is for the firm to store the RDF bales prior to exporting them to the near continent.
