For the first episode of series three, the Burning Issue podcast returns to the waste exports market to discover if 2023’s increase in tonnages would continue 

EWB editor Luke Walsh talks to Geminor country manager UK Oliver Caunce about being the largest exporter of waste from the UK, how the company got to that position, and how it hopes to stay there as its rivals evolve. 

This episode also focuses on:

  • 2023’s rise in UK waste exports
  • costs have increased for SRF production, driving a swing to RDF
  • how to cope with new taxes focused on the biogenic content of baled waste
  • will waste management rise up the political agenda?
  • Geminor’s involvement in the development of chemical processes for hard-to-recycle plastics

Norway-headquartered Geminor has facilities and offices in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the UK, Germany, Poland, France and Italy, and employs around 100 professionals and experts in total.

The company’s subsidiaries mainly deal with the treatment and handling of refuse-derived fuel and solid-recovered fuel production, as well as processing waste wood, paper, cardboard, plastic, hazardous waste and other streams.
