A WASTE to energy facility has been proposed in Wollert to increase the recovery of materials currently being sent to landfill, and to use those materials in the generation of energy that will be exported to the electricity grid.
The new facility, the Melbourne Energy and Resource Centre (MERC) proposed by Cleanaway is in line with the Victorian Government’s circular economy policy for the recovery of energy and other resources from residual waste, through the Victorian Waste to Energy Framework.
