General waste
We pride ourselves on our exceptional efficiency and commitment to environmental sustainability when collecting and managing our customers' residual waste.
What happens to your general waste?
Clients generate general waste, which is collected and transported to a central waste collection point.
At the collection point, recyclables and hazards are separated, leaving only non-recyclable waste.
Non-recyclable waste is converted into electricity, steam, or heat at a waste-to-energy facility.
Residual waste is converted into green energy, supporting multiple sectors.
Eco monitoring is vital for compliance and reducing the environmental impact of waste-to-energy.
