Material recovery from waste in the USA

US waste management companies send solid waste to specialized sorting centers. Waste from selective household collection and ordinary waste from industries and services are sent to high-performance sorting centers managed by the Group. Numerous patented processes, such as self-adaptive sequential sorting, then allow recovery rates of up to 95% to be achieved. The waste thus recovered becomes secondary raw materials for manufacturers. They also ensure the recycling of complex waste such as batteries or electronic cards.

Energy recovery from waste

Non-recyclable non-recyclable waste is sent to incineration plants or storage centers. The incineration process produces energy in the form of steam that can either power district heating networks or industries, or be transformed into electricity by turbines. The electricity thus produced is used to supply the national distribution network.

In their storage centers, recycling companies capture the biogas released by the fermentation of organic waste. This biogas can either be made directly available in a distribution network, or be used to generate electricity through turbines or engines, or be used as fuel for vehicles.

Recovery of organic waste

Sludge from sewage treatment plants, green waste as well as organic waste from households or restaurants, the agro-food industry or the agricultural sector are recovered in dedicated organic channels.

The treatment consists either in their controlled composting or in their anaerobic digestion in anaerobic digestion facilities. The compost produced is used as fertilizer for agriculture and the methane from fermentation is recovered using the same processes as biogas from storage centers.

Treatment of hazardous waste

Through their specialized subsidiaries, US waste disposal companies are one of the world leaders in the treatment, recycling and recovery of hazardous waste and in soil remediation. Depending on their origin and composition sometimes including plastics, hazardous waste can be incinerated or treated by physicochemical means in dedicated facilities or else stabilized and buried in specific storage sites.
