Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, acting as lead authority on behalf of ‘Dyfodol Gwyrdd Glân’ meaning ‘Clean Green Future’ a partnership of Welsh local authorities in collaboration with the Welsh Government, is set to launch a tender for the development and delivery of an affordable sustainable solution for the long-term treatment/recycling of absorbent hygiene product (AHP) waste.

Dyfodol Gwyrdd Glân is seeking to procure a contractor(s) to design, build, fund, operate, and maintain an absorbent hygiene product (AHP) waste treatment/recycling solution for all Wales. 

As part of the project, two reference sites have been identified as potential sites to build and operate a treatment facility or facilities, they are: Bryn Pica — South Wales and Waen — North Wales.

The full solution is anticipated to be procured in two separate phases:

• Procurement for a contractor to design, build, fund, operate and maintain an AHP treatment solution for all Wales;
• Procurement of a contractor(s) to provide a haulage solution from participating local authorities to the AHP treatment solution following Phase I.

A contract will be procured for the long-term (provisionally envisaged to be 15-years, with possible extensions) treatment/recycling solution for separately collected AHP waste from local authorities across Wales.
