REMONDIS Swanbank

At Swanbank Renewable Energy and Waste Management Facility we recover recyclable resources including timbers, metals and aggregates. These are recovered from loads that have been separated at source, and are further sorted in Swanbank’s designated Resource Recovery Areas (RRAs) to remove contaminants and to be processed for transportation and sale. These materials re-enter the circular economy as valuable recovered resources, via our Commodity Trading Desk or local clients.

Located within our Swanbank Renewable Energy and Waste Management Facility is ReOrganic Energy Swanbank, a power generation project owned under a joint venture partnership between LMS Energy and REMONDIS.

Methane produced naturally here at Swanbank by the decomposition of organic waste in our landfill is captured and destroyed in the process of generating renewable energy, which is then exported to the local grid. This greenhouse-gas reducing facility generates approximately 27,000 MW hours of renewable electricity annually, enough energy to provide power to an average of 4,800 households each day. The facility was constructed in 2012 with 1.1 MW of capacity, and expanded to 1.5 MW in 2016. The facility was relocated and further expanded in 2023 – adding two new J320 Jenbacher generator modules – to achieve its current 3.3 MW capacity.
