Description

Welcome to the FIRST EVER episode of the Energy from Waste Podcast, brought to you by the Energy from Waste Network.

Every couple of episodes, we are joined by a new host and their episode guest. For this episode, our host is SUEZ recycling and recovery UK’s Dr Adam Read, and his guest is the technical director at SLR Consulting, Paul James.

As well as discussing the latest news, and throwing a few football analogies into the mix, they cover all things capacity, including:

  • Growing up in the sector and how the waste sector landscape has changed
  • The transitional period of waste infrastructure and policy in the UK
  • The importance of having ‘catch-all’ technologies to deal with our waste
