ATM Soil Investigation

Renewi plc (LSE: RWI), the international waste-to-product business, reports that the authorities visited its ATM site in Moerdijk today as part of an investigation by the public prosecutor into the historic use of ATM's thermally treated soil.

The Company believes it has treated all contaminated soil in line with the soil decree regulations and is compliant with its environmental permits.

Renewi will continue to work closely with the regulatory authorities towards both interim solutions and new products that would allow ATM to resume soil shipments.
