“The company has agreements with waste contractors “such as Waste Management, Envirowaste and Ecowaste, but for commercial reasons, we can’t really talk about it.” – Paul Taylor, SIRRL.
However, Waste Management, the country’s largest waste management company, holds contracts for approximately a third of the South Island’s waste. Evan Maehl, its managing director, asserts that the company has no agreements or understanding with SIRRL and would not be a supplier for the proposed waste-to-energy incinerator.
Enviro NZ, the country’s second-largest waste management company, formerly known as EnviroWaste, has made its stance clear. It has no agreement or understanding with any proposed waste-to-energy incinerator.
