Waste Innovations at the Advanced Manufacturing Park

Rotherham hosts the Advanced Manufacturing Park at Waverley, which has attracted some of the world’s biggest manufacturers, including British Steel, McLaren, and Nikken. These companies are at the forefront of innovations in waste and recycling technology.

The site is a government enterprise zone, funded by the European Regional Development Fund and Yorkshire Forward and is now one of Europe’s most significant advanced manufacturing and engineering clusters.

Rolls-Royce, an aerospace, power systems, and defence giant, has a major manufacturing site at the Rotherham facility. This site includes a division that develops power units to convert waste byproducts into green electricity while reducing methane emissions from landfill sites.

At a landfill, microorganisms degrade organic material, releasing a mix of methane and carbon dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas if released untreated into the atmosphere.

Rolls-Royce has developed methane gas power generators that run efficiently on this mix of gases. These generators ignite the methane to power turbines that generate electricity, significantly reducing the environmental impact of waste while producing a reliable source of renewable electricity.

💡 The Advanced Manufacturing Park is also home to Capsa Solutions, an experienced hazardous waste management firm specialising in the nuclear industry.
