Renewi invests
millions in sustainable growth
In addition to
efficiency, the new jetty will also increase
safety
ATM,
part of the leading waste-to-product company
Renewi (LSE:
RWI.L: Euronext Amsterdam: RWI.AS),
announces that it is investing €7.8 million in the construction of
a new jetty at its ATM site in Moerdijk in the Netherlands. This
investment is an important step in the execution of Renewi's
objective to strengthen ATM's position. The new jetty is part
of regular
maintenance investments and
will increase efficiency, contributing to ATM's return on
investment. The jetty will be operational from November
2024.
Safer
and more environmentally friendly solution
The new jetty, which is
more than 100 metres long, has been designed to increase the
efficiency of ATM's water operations. With the ability to dock up
to six ships at the same time, the jetty can receive up to fifteen
percent more ships per year. In addition to efficiency, the
scaffold will also bring benefits in the areas of safety and
sustainability. For example, a safer staircase that runs parallel
to the ships ensures that employees no longer have to climb to get
on board. Loading and unloading is optimised by the installation of
six new electric loading arms.
Future-proof
growth
In addition to the new
jetty, ATM also commissioned an additional degassing installation
this year. ATM is the only party in the Netherlands that operates a
fixed degassing installation. Both investments are crucial steps in
meeting the increasing demand for more innovative and sustainable
solutions for shipping.
"Our priority within
Renewi's strategy is to optimise our portfolio," says Bruno Bruins,
Chief Strategy Officer at Renewi. "An important part of this is the
further strengthening of ATM. These investments provide a strong
foundation for growth in our water and soil cleaning business and
we continue to explore opportunities for further optimisation in
order to strengthen ATM's position," says Bruins.
Port of Moerdijk is
increasingly putting itself on the map as a European seaport and
hub for the chemical industry and international logistics. "As the
Port of Moerdijk Authority, we applaud the commissioning of this
new jetty," says CEO Paul Dirix. "More sustainable options for
transport by water will help the Port of Moerdijk to contribute to
the 'modal shift' and sustainability of logistics. Great to see
that Renewi immediately seizes the opportunity to innovate in the
process."
Circular
materials
ATM is one of Europe's
largest companies for the treatment of contaminated soil,
wastewater and oily sludge and for the disposal of a wide range of
hazardous wastes, such as packaged chemical waste. In addition, the
company focuses on recycling used materials instead of permanently
removing them from the chain through incineration or landfill.
ATM's circular materials, such as sand, gravel and fillers, are
used as an alternative to primary raw materials in concrete. As a
result, the company plays an important role in helping to improve
the living environment and is committed to resource
conservation.
