Ellesmere Port Waste Management

The town of Ellesmere Port in Cheshire has a population of around 55,000 and is perhaps best known for its large industrial employers, including the Stanlow oil refinery and the Vauxhall Motors car factory. However, the local economy is also supported by businesses in the service sector as well as a number of tourist attractions, such as National Waterways Museum, the Blue Planet Aquarium and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet.

Stanlow is the second largest oil refinery in the UK, boasting production of 12 million tonnes per year with a barrel per day capacity of 296,000. The Vauxhall Motors plant manufacturers passenger cars and currently employees around 1,880 staff with a capacity of approximately 187,000 units.

Tourists that come to Ellesmere Port are spoilt for choice when it comes to attractions and activities. The National Waterways Museum has the largest canal boat collection in the world, while the main tank at the Blue Planet Aquarium holds 4,000,000 litres of water and features a 71-metre underwater tunnel. Shoppers can splash the cash at Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, Coliseum Retail Park and the 2nd largest Marks & Spencer store in the UK.

In 2015, Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex officially opened a new multi-million pound sports village in the area. Along with servicing the needs of local residents and future generations, the facility has also created jobs and contributed even more money to the local economy.

Thanks to its industrial past and retail future, Ellesmere Port continues to grow and expand. However, this also means that the area must contend with greater waste management challenges. Even though the public’s recycling efforts stopped at over 31,795,578 kg of CO2 being generated in 2016, keeping on top of waste management in the future will keep getting tougher.
