FRM have produced guidance documents for central and regional Government in the UK (e.g. Defra) and internationally (Australia, South Africa) on the available options for managing municipal waste. This has included a suite of documents for Defra (covering MBT, Advanced Thermal Treatment, Mechanical Heat Treatment, Incineration) and training courses internationally.

We have developed bespoke carbon models to represent specific residual waste treatment facilities covering the full range of technologies available and peer reviewed carbon models developed by other consultancies (Parsons Brinckerhoff, Arup).

FRM have applied this experience in residual waste treatment procurement (e.g. Norfolk, Swindon) and in options appraisals for waste / resource management strategy projects.
