a safe and sound solution for your waste
In terms of industrial recovery of waste, ecorec provides co-processing in the cement producing industry as the optimum way of recovering energy and material from waste.
Co-processing refers to the use of waste materials in industrial processes, such as in cement, lime, and steel production or any other large combustion plant. The main objective is not the final disposal of waste, but rather the substitution of primary fuel and raw material with waste.
Modern incineration plants and secure landfills are common disposal options in European countries but have high investment and operating costs and need qualified personnel. An efficient cement kiln can provide an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective recovery option for a number of wastes.
ecorec successfully co-processes different types of wastes as alternative fuels and raw materials in cement kilns. It offers a safe and sound solution for society, industrial enterprises and the environment.
Major benefits of using alternative fuels and raw materials can be summarized as follows:
• decreasing environmental impact of waste
• saving non-renewable natural resources
• ensuring environmentally safe waste treatment with
no additional emissions
• decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, as no "fresh" fossil
fuel is used
• helping to solve local waste management problems
