Summary site information collated from a variety of sources.
Overview
WikiWaste has used the website Cement Plants and Kilns in Britain and Ireland[1] extensively for the reference material for each individual cement kiln page. The detail on this reference website is extensive and as WikiWaste is focused upon the UK waste and resource market, only the key highlights are captured from this website (and company websites accordingly) to provide background and context. Hope started manufacturing clinker in 1929 and up to 2015 had produced 68 million tonnes of clinker through 7 rotary kilns over this period.
Ownership
- 1929 to 2001 BPCM (G&T Earle)(Blue Circle)

The Process at Hope
The process at the site is similar to that at Cookstown - a 'semi-dry process' from kiln supplier Polysius (part of the ThyssenKrupp group).
Raw Materials
The primary raw materials are Carboniferous Limestone and Boulder Clay and Carboniferous Shale.

Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit BP3731VJ, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data was last updated on October 2024. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: 98,171.27t.
Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
| EWC Code | Origin of Waste | Tonnes In |
|---|---|---|
| 19 12 10 | Lancashire | 16942.74 |
| 10 01 03 | North Yorkshire | 66.07 |
| 10 01 05 | Yorks & Humber | 55.98 |
| 16 01 03 | East Riding of Yorkshire | 14684.48 |
| 10 01 02 | Nottinghamshire | 66422.00 |
Around 40% of the tonnage listed was used for the primary purpose of substituting fuel requirements in the plant, with coal fly ash (also called Pulverized Fuel Ash or PFA) used as a replacement for raw material (shale) in the production process[2].
