In a significant move towards sustainable waste management, BurCell® Technologies has announced a strategic partnership with eFACTOR3, a leading provider of custom recycling equipment. This collaboration aims to create an innovative solution that efficiently converts municipal solid waste into renewable fuels, addressing the pressing need for sustainable waste management alternatives.
The partnership will leverage eFACTOR3’s sophisticated waste-processing technologies, including the M&J PreShred 4000M mobile shredder, Ecostar Hextra 70003F screening system, and Westeria AirBasic windsifter. These advanced systems will prepare municipal solid waste for seamless compatibility with BurCell’s proprietary waste conversion system, enabling waste management facilities to recover over 90% of valuable organic materials from mixed waste streams.
Ron Barmore, CEO of BurCell® Technologies, emphasized the urgent need for effective waste management solutions: “Municipalities need real, scalable alternatives to landfilling. The combination of eFACTOR3’s advanced front-end processing systems and our BurCell® System delivers exactly that. Together, we’re proving that resource recovery from municipal solid waste can be both economically and environmentally sustainable.”
Once eFACTOR3’s integrated system has processed the waste, it will be directed to BurCell’s low-temperature vacuum-assisted pretreatment process. This process yields a homogeneous organic feedstock that digests more effectively than traditionally treated materials, ensuring sustained and predictable biogas generation. The BurCell® System has the potential to divert up to 75% of processed waste from landfills, thereby maximizing resource recovery.
Hartmut Bendfeldt, President and Founder of eFACTOR3, highlighted the importance of integrating technology in modern waste management. “The future of waste management lies in intelligent integration. Our collaboration with BurCell exemplifies how combined mechanical processing and waste-to-fuel conversion can redefine possibilities for municipal resource recovery.”
With over 2,600 landfills across the United States nearing capacity and recycling programs facing challenges, the demand for innovative integrated solutions has never been more critical. This partnership not only promises to reduce municipalities’ disposal costs by up to 40% but also aims to generate renewable energy and recover recyclable materials, ensuring a greener future.
The collaboration between BurCell® Technologies and eFACTOR3 marks a significant advancement in waste-to-energy infrastructure, demonstrating that with the right mix of technologies, waste can evolve from an environmental burden into a valuable commodity.
