Effective from April 1st, 2025, the UK government has implemented a significant increase in Landfill Tax rates, raising the standard rate by 21.6% from £103.70 to £126.15 per tonne.

For businesses in the recycling sector, this significant tax escalation directly increases disposal costs for landfill fractions. At the same time, landfill gate fees and transportation costs are also all rising, increasing overall costs for businesses. Seeking a more economic and environmentally-friendly waste disposal solution, companies are turning to the Stronga FlowDrya to dry their landfill waste fractions.

A significant benefit of drying Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) before screening, trommelling and sorting is more consistent separation and valuable fraction recovery. By increasing the extraction of valuable resources such as Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), businesses are provided with waste to energy incentives:
1) The reduction in the moisture content of non-recoverable fractions directly reduces the associated landfill costs.
2) Enhanced material recycling recovery rates of high-value fractions reduces the landfill fraction and creates new income streams.

FlowDrya equipment facilitates the enhanced separation and recovery of high-value, recyclable waste materials, otherwise destined for increasingly expensive landfill disposal. We encourage businesses to ask; How many tonnes of waste do you send to landfill each year? What is your landfill tax cost figure? How much could you save through drying the waste material?

Stronga FlowDrya equipment revolutionises material recovery operations, improving efficiency through recovering a higher percentage of recyclable fractions while reducing landfill disposal. Reducing the moisture content of SRF and the residual, non-recyclable fines waste materials, is pivotal. Drying the fines fraction after separation is often the simplest, lowest cost solution of increasing the recovery rate and reducing landfill expenses, especially during wet weather periods.

FlowDrya offers the most reliable waste fraction drying solution in the market. Well-equipped to process heavy, dirty and often corrosive waste, FlowDrya enables businesses to lower the weight of the fraction that requires landfilling. The benefits are clear:
1) Lower water content = lighter, lower volume waste = lower landfill costs.
2) Improved fraction recovery rate = reduced waste to landfill.
3) Less waste = fewer lorry loads, transport emissions, fuel costs & gate fees + lower volumes of chargeable waste = lower disposal costs per tonne.

FlowDrya waste drying solutions are economic and transformative for waste management businesses, especially given the recent landfill tax increase in the UK. Businesses are able to use on-site residual heat to power their waste drying equipment, which then becomes essential to the overall process.

FlowDrya equipment also aids with the compliance of new landfill tax laws, whilst allowing users to benefit from increased recycling opportunities. A timely solution to the current challenges faced by those in the waste sector.
