UK: WKE has despatched its first shipment of WKE fuel pellets to an overseas customer. The shipment consisted of 7000t of fuel pellets, and embarked from the Port of Middlesborough in North Yorkshire earlier in December 2023. The shipment is a first trial, with a view to potentially increasing exports to 50,000t/yr.
CEO Ian Jones said “This is a huge milestone for us as it represents the completion of commissioning, from the waste arriving at our plant to the product being shipped out. We’re ideally located for bulk shipments and we can do anything from 3000t to 10,000t in a single shipment. It’s an exciting time for WKE, as we have multiple trans-frontier shipments being put in place for new customer trials across a range of industries in 2024, including cement plants in the UK, Europe and further afield.” He added “Countries who are currently not allowed to take waste from the UK are also actively seeking approval from their own governments to import our product.”
