Critical service which businesses must have
Mainly scheduled service based (as opposed to volume based) revenue
Ever increasing complexity in terms of segregated services and customer sustainability requirements
Evolving policy further underpins this
A market in which the scale operator has a distinct advantage
19
Route density & lowest cost operator – scale
99% services are scheduled and non variable
Disposal costs absorb 50% of collection revenues - leveraging scale unlocks disposal benefits
Large operators have scaleadvantage – both nationally and locally - supporting further industry consolidation
Landfill diversion, contamination levels & carbon emissions
Smart logistics mapping allows constant re-configuration of routes
Technology supports customer, driver & vehicle data –management information driving efficiency
Carbon ‘waste miles’ becoming important
Critical Non-Discretionary Service
Increasingly requiring scale Increasing relevance of ESG performance
![Page 20: Leading in UK Sustainable Waste Management](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040601/624ab954c4df4a3a467d0f17/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
And are supported by the ongoing policy environment
Improvement in recycling rates will lead to greater requirement for segregation in containers and collections
Mandated separate food collections will drive density to I&C food fleet and re-inflate AD gate fees
Extended Producer Responsibility will lead to a greater recovery of recycling/re-processing costs from manufacturers & retailers
Deposit Return Schemes should lead to a reduction of plastic bottles in Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR)
Extended Producer Responsibility

The Waste Hierarchy supports the drive away from landfill towards more beneficial recycling and recovery options
Since 2000 the UK’s environmental policies have focused on driving waste away from landfill towards more environmentally friendly recycling and recovery options
Once recycling has been maximised the next stage is to recover value from the remaining residual waste
Recovery is generally in the form of energy generation - realising the latent energy value in the materials we throw away to generate de-centralised renewable energy
For material that cannot be recycled or recovered Landfill remains the final disposal option
Market evolution supported by fiscal policy has resulted in an economic structure that supports environmental policy with disposal representing the highest cost option of managing waste.

Recycling
Driven by environmental and fiscal policies the UK has seen significant growth over the last 20 years
Recovery – Energy from Waste
EfW development was historically underpinned by Local Authorities and PFI contracts . Current and future development requires I&C waste and private finance
Landfill
Landfill tax has supported investment in Recycling & Recovery, reducing the UK’s reliance on landfill disposal

Managing the UK’s Residual Waste (M tpa)
RDF Export Domestic EfW Capacity Residual Waste
New infrastructure to treat residual waste continues to be developed but there will continue to be a gap in capacity.
The amount of residual waste that requires managing depends on the future levels of recycling Current projections include assumed increases
in recycling performance
Domestic UK Energy from Waste (EfW) capacity treats >12M tpa (2018)
The UK currently exports approximately 3M tpa of residual waste to mainland Europe as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) – assumed to remain constant but may decrease over time
Despite further growth in recycling and the development of additional EfW capacity, the UK will have a persistent shortfall (c.6Mtpa) in treatment capacity

Developing EfW Capacity in the UK – Critical Success Factors
71
There are more than 40 operational plants in the UK processing >12mtpa. However, more than 20 further mid sized EfW plants are required to manage the UK’s residual waste – this represents an investment of more than £6bn. Critical to unlocking a development project are:
Control of Site: Proximity to waste arisings Planning Permission Environmental Permit
Control of Waste: Agregated volumes to support investment Stong balance sheet to support contractual commitment
Supply Chain: Proven technology with supporting performance guarantees Robust operator to maximise performance with proven technical capacbility

Biffa I&C Volumes – Strategy and delivery
81
Biffa has actively secured disposal capacity in domestic EfW over recent years. The combination of existing contracts and future developments delivers long term security combined with future flexibility
Biffa expects to continue to control more than 1.7mtpa of suitable material for treatment in EfW – signed and future disposal contracts account for 60% of Biffa’s suitable tonnage
Based on the signed and future Fuel Supply contracts, Biffa will be the UKs largest supplier of fuel to EfW
On completion of disposal contracts currently in negotiation (including Newhurst and Protos) Biffa will have secured 60% of its I&C tonnages to long-term EfW supply contracts
This commitment underpins the I&C operation on a national level and represents a suitable blend of committed tonnage and future flexibility
