What is waste recovery?

Waste recovery is a process that makes use of waste as a valuable resource in the creation of new products, thus extending its life cycle. The aim is to create a culture of organic waste separation at source, thereby collecting quality organic waste for the production of renewable energy, and reducing the need for landfill space.

Who can benefit from it and how?
Adapting waste recovery in the circular economy promotes environmental, economic, and social aspects.
  • Environmentally: it creates alternative forms of energy and reduces landfill space.
  • Economically: Companies can reduce the cost of purchasing new raw materials, when they adapt to the circular business model.
  • Socially: waste recovery can create jobs, according to SABIA, feasible in the next 5 years is 30177 permanent jobs and 141455 construction jobs.
At OWE, we assist our clients to optimize their organic waste and its use within our production processes, by reusing it as raw material. Where possible, we prioritise onsite organic waste treatments to avoid further impacting the environment through carbon emissions caused by transporting waste from the place where it is produced to an off-site location for treatment or final disposal.
