Iris Solutions, a consortium led by Orgaworld Canada, part of International waste and recycling firm, Shanks Group’s (LSE: SKS) Organics Division, has been selected as the preferred proponent for the Surrey Biofuels Processing Facility project in Canada.

According to the City of Surrey, the facility will be designed to receive and process 115,000 tonnes of organic waste annually. When completed, the facility is expected to be the largest of its kind in Canada with a capacity to process 100% of the City’s organic waste, along with commercial organic waste, helping Metro Vancouver achieve its regional 70% waste diversion target.
