The North London Waste Authority (NLWA) has awarded a £100m contract to Taylor Woodrow, a subsidiary of Vinci, for the construction of waste recycling facilities at the Edmonton EcoPark in London.
The facilities include a Resource Recovery Facility which could manage up to 135,000 tonnes of recyclable material every year, along with the first-ever Reuse and Recycling Centre at the EcoPark, where residents can bring their waste directly to the site.

NLWA said that the investment in a modern recycling facility is expected to be a vital catalyst in strengthening local green recovery and could ramp up the recycling rates across London by up to 50%.
The EcoPark House will be opened for public and will act as a knowledge-sharing hub for waste prevention and recycling and will also act as the new home for the Edmonton Sea Cadets.
NLWA chairperson Clyde Loakes said: “We are building flagship recycling infrastructure to bolster our plans for 50% household recycling across north London. This will be a real step-change in our ability to extract more quality materials for recycling and expand our existing network of public recycling centres.
