Converting Municipal Solid Waste into Energy, Resources and Revenue
Building cleaner cities through sustainable waste management. No landfilling. No mass incineration. Zero residue processing.
Instead of seeing waste as a problem, we see it as an opportunity to create value.
MSW, legacy waste, RDF received at facility
Metals separated and recyclable materials recovered
Torrefaction at 250-300°C in controlled oxygen environment
Green charcoal, pellets, construction materials
