Our Partners:
AWECT (Amsterdam Waste Environmental Consultancy Technology)
Awect is the leading company in high efficiency waste to energy technology. Awect can play a role in every step of the way in the transition to optimal waste management, from masterplanning to operation of a WtE facility and all steps in between.
AWECT can have multiple roles in the development of a WtE project, be it co-owner in the development phase or a pure technology consultant & engineer /operator.
BLUE PHOENIX (formerly INASHCO)
Blue Phoenix recycles ash and extract ferrous and nonferrous metals, while producing a final clean mineral for reuse such as aggregates. As the world’s largest ash processor, they achieve operational excellence through their proven processes, professional teams and the highest commitment to health, safety and the environment.

Sustainable Solution
The High Efficiency Waste to Energy technology is also applied in various facilities around; whereas our approach is further development, implemented and improved by the Amsterdam City Waste to Energy plant since 2007 in a 1.4 million ton/ annual facility.
Saving 1 million ton CO2
A 2500 ton/day facility would redirect annually >912,500 ton municipal solid waste away from landfilling and would save around 1 million ton CO2 per year, which is roughly the same pollution from some 210,000 cars on the road.
Note Open dumpsites and landfills are top sources of methane; methane is extra problematic because its impact is 23 times greater than CO2 (UNFCCC). In addition to emitting pollutants like methane, landfills also bring health risks to adjacent communities.
Facilities come in modular format, whereas with additional Sustainable Landfill Reclamation the available fresh waste can be buffered allowing us to basically handle any volume.
Replacing Fossil Fuel
Processing this non-recyclable waste into electricity, replaces the need to use virgin fossil fuels such as coal.
Whereas the CO2 coming from a Coal-fired powerplant is 100% fossil vs only 30% in case of a WtE plant.
Sustainable Landfill Reclamation produces Refuse Derived Fuel which can be used in the WtE facility or offered to the Power/ Cement industry as partial coal replacement.
The burning of coal, natural gas, and oil for electricity and heat is the largest single source of global greenhouse gas emissions
Emmissions ~30% of 2010/75/EC standard
The HE WtE facilities operate with emissions well below European emission standards and help improve air quality in the local areas;
Note: the visible exhaust output is mostly water-vapor!
< 5% of goes to Landfill
From the 912,500 ton MSW we will have 250,000 ton Bottom Ash which thorugh a special process will be
1) converted into Minerals for construction material,
2) (non)-ferrous metals will be recovered
reducing the residue to be landfilled down to less than 5%
When operating the Sustainable Landfill Reclamation independently the segregated waste will primarily be Reused and Recycled through existing channels.
In the European Union, 19 % of municipal waste is incinerated using the waste to energy approach. This proportion rises to 32% in France and over 50% in Scandinavian countries.
Biomonitoring Study:
Emissions from WtE facilities usually are a big worry for the direct neighbors of such a facility. In the Netherlands there has been an extensive biomonitoring program executed by the Wageningen University that has run for over 10 years. In this study crops that are known for accumulating hazardous substances easily were planted near WtE facilities and closely monitored. They conclude that there is no significant accumulation of these substances in those crops, indicating that it is safe for people and cattle to be near these facilities if they comply with the EU emission standards.
