Step one

Start with an assessment.

A written engineering review of your waste stream, your current disposal costs, and what is actually possible on your site.

What you receive

Every assessment includes all six.

Conversion technologies screened against your feedstock
Order-of-magnitude capital and operating cost
A clear recommendation — including do not proceed, if that is the honest answer
An executive summary your council or board can read

This is for you if
