International waste and recycling company Renewi plc (LSE: RWI) and hygiene and health company firm Essity are teaming up to develop a new solution to recycle waste baby nappies and incontinence materials from the care sector and municipalities in the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands 400,000 tonnes of this material, between 5% to 8% of residual waste, is currently sent to incineration at waste to energy facilities each year.
