An Australian company that has developed an environmentally friendly system for disposing of household waste is close to signing a £2bn contract with Lancashire and Blackpool councils.
The 25-year deal, agreed under the government's private finance initiative, covers 1.4 million people and 775,000 tonnes of waste a year, and is due to be finalised in the next few days.
Global Renewables, a Manchester-based subsidiary of the Australian engineering group GRD Ltd, plans to invest £340m to build two waste facilities in partnership with Bovis Lendlease. About £90m comes from PFI credits, with the main funding coming from five banks, including Bank of Ireland and Lloyds TSB.
