Human beings produce vast amounts of garbage on a daily basis. For years, the conventional method of dealing with municipal solid waste has been to transport it to landfills. However, landfills present numerous issues—they fill up quickly, require significant space, contaminate water and soil, and emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas. In addition, a significant amount of the waste remains stagnant for centuries, posing long-term environmental challenges. But what if we could use this waste as a resource? For instance, the organic fraction of waste could be separated and transformed into biofuel, coal replacement, Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), a soil enrichment or building materials? However, a substantial portion of this, around 50 to 60 percent, still ends up in landfills. Merely targeting the food waste fraction overlooks valuable digestible materials that could contribute to methane production in landfills over time and exacerbate the existing environmental issues associated with traditional waste disposal methods. As a result, it is crucial to develop advanced waste-to-energy technologies to effectively reduce the amount of municipal solid waste ending up in landfills and minimize the environmental impact. Enter WastAway, a pioneering green technology company that has developed innovative solutions to transform municipal solid waste into a safe, inert, and sterile carbon-rich sustainable engineered fuel called SE3™. It is homogeneous, pathogen-free and odor-free. Its renewable – negative carbon footprint – products include a soil enrichment additive; a proven, high-BTU coal replacement fuel for cement kilns, power plants, steel mills, pulp mills and other solid fuel users; biofuels through gasification and pyrolysis; renewable natural gas (RNG) through anaerobic digestion and building materials through extrusion processes. “We take municipal solid waste as our initial feedstock, offering a solution for those seeking alternatives to landfills. Our technology stands as one of the few in the world capable of legitimately diverting 85 percent of waste from a typical waste stream into valuable and beneficial products,” said Mark Brown, CEO of WastAway. The process begins with the extraction of municipal solid waste from curb side collection trucks. This involves sorting waste that has already undergone segregation by end-users in recycling programs. In regions lacking such programs, it handles the collected waste stream from street-side bins. The initial step in its operation is mixed recovery facilities (MRF), which entails extracting recyclables like ferrous metals, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics. These materials are then directed to local recycling centers or industries with corresponding markets.
