The proposed Resource Recovery Park (RRP) is an integrated development comprising the following elements:

• A Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Power Plant
• An Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) to serve the north Cheshire area;
• An Environmental Technologies Complex (ETC) comprising of:
• a series of development plots for specialist resource recovery companies;
• further development sites for linked companies producing new commodities from the recovered material;
• sites for research and development organisations who are closely allied with the specialist recovery and reprocessing companies;
• construction of an internal rail network to serve each of the different planned activities, establishment of a container depot for unitised freight and a new berth constructed on the site of an existing (partly redundant) bulk liquids berth;
• the necessary infrastructure to serve the development including distributor roads, electricity sub stations and waste water treatment facilities; and
• a comprehensive landscape improvement and nature conservation scheme, complementing and improving the landscape fabric of the area and providing an enhanced ecological habitat.

Based on market drivers, anticipated demand and overall need, it is anticipated that a range of reprocessors and material flows have the potential to be comprised within the RRP.  Examples are:

• Biodiesel and Ethanol Manufacture
• Soil Treatment
• Plastics
• Wood/Timber
• Glass
• Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment
