Waste-to-Energy

Thermal waste treatment

Thermal waste treatment is a central pillar of the circular economy. It reduces landfill volumes, protects people and the environment from pollutants, lowers CO2 emissions by substituting fossil fuels, and enables the recovery of energy and recyclable materials from bottom ash. Our plants use the energy content of waste to generate electricity and district heating. Since around 50% of the energy contained in waste is of biogenic origin, its utilisation contributes to the use of renewable energy sources.
