This is an artist鈥檚 impression of the new energy-from-waste facility in Suffolk, designed by Grimshaw for resource management company SITA UK.

Designed with the Suffolk countryside in mind, when operational, the plant will process 269,000 tonnes of waste a year to produce enough electricity to power 30,000 homes.

A planning application for the project, which will also house an energy education centre, is expected to be submitted in December.
