Treatment process
Main Roles
We collect local waste and process it through screening and drying processes to recover 60% of the solid fuel (SRF). We then use the heat generated during the burning of the solid fuel and use them to generate electricity.
Eco-friendly Effects
By operating basic environmental facilities to address social issues, such as soil pollution and lack of landfill, so that we can minimize pollution and recycle energy.
We provide the best services to ensure the stable maintenance and management of facilities based on our know-how and technology experts, which is a state-of-the-art treatment method for household waste, for several years.

Main Roles
We are operating a recycling sorting facility, pyrolysis and melting incineration facility, and an observatory, which are also used as a local cultural space. After sorting about 70% of the waste as recycled material, the remaining waste is treated with an eco-friendly method that melts them using a melting method inspired by a blast furnace in a steelworks factory.
Eco-friendly Effects
After waste treatment, metal and slag are selected and reused as raw materials for bricks and metal, and the heat generated during the process is recovered and supplied to the District Heating Corporation.
