ECONWARD

ECONWARD TECH is a leading technology company with operations in Europe and North America. Its patented (steam) thermal hydrolysis converts landfill-bound garbage into two clean, pathogen-free streams. The resulting organic stream is well-suited for composting or anaerobic digestion processes. It can be composted to produce nutrient-rich compost, a valuable soil amendment for agriculture and landscaping, or serve as a valuable feedstock for anaerobic digestion, a biological process that produces biogas as a byproduct. Biogas can be utilized as a renewable energy source for electricity generation, heating, or transportation fuels. In addition to the organic stream, steam hydrolysis also yields a non-organic stream containing materials that are not susceptible to hydrolysis, such as plastics, metals, glass, and other inert materials. This non-organic stream is clean, free from pathogens, and can be used in cement kilns as a high-calorific value refuse-derived fuel (RDF). RDF serves as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on finite resources.
