A first application of the integrated circular infrastructure model, developed around regional supply, infrastructure and market demand.
Why North Wales
North Wales is proposed as CESECO’s first UK anchor project.
The scheme is being developed around the Deeside / Flintshire industrial corridor, an area with strong logistics access, established manufacturing activity, proximity to major food and agricultural supply chains, and a public-sector environment focused on advanced manufacturing, employment, skills and regional development.
The site strategy is currently focused on the wider Deeside / Airfields opportunity, with a land-assembly approach that can support the full campus and future expansion. CESECO is also exploring whether existing industrial buildings within the economic zone could help accelerate early rendering and purified animal fat production while the wider site is advanced.
This could shorten the route to first output and strengthen early offtake relationships.
What the site is designed to do
The proposed North Wales Eco Park is intended to operate as a fully integrated circular economy campus. The current planning basis is a standard 320,000 tonnes per annum intake, supported by four rendering lines and a day-one operating model that includes the rendering and sterilisation plant, energy centre, wastewater and odour-control systems, a 10 hectare automated greenhouse, OEM pet-feed ingredient production, warehousing, laboratory, welfare, administration and gate infrastructure.
The project is being structured as a single, ring-fenced North Wales scheme rather than relying on later international projects to justify its financing case.
The North Wales project is designed to become the reference asset for the CESECO platform. Once operational, it can demonstrate the technical, commercial and governance model needed to support further UK and international projects, including larger strategic opportunities in markets where CESECO already sees potential future demand.
Final configuration is subject to engineering design, permitting and approvals.
Outputs aligned to real demand
The project is structured to deliver multiple output streams, each aligned to defined industrial and commercial use.
- Fuel feedstocks for energy and industrial markets
- Energy outputs for on-site use and potential export
- Process water for controlled operational use
- Animal feed inputs and nutrient recovery pathways
- Greenhouse produce through integrated systems, where applicable
Final output mix depends on site design, permitting and market conditions.
DESIGNED WITH REGIONAL RELEVANCE
The project is intended to support local supply chains, responsible resource use and long-term industrial activity. Its development reflects a practical approach to infrastructure, grounded in regional context, stakeholder alignment and operational viability.
Development in progress
The North Wales project is currently progressing through development and structuring phases. Further detail, including technical configuration and commercial alignment, is shared with relevant stakeholders on request.
