Material Recovery

Envision’s mixed waste processing facilities are designed to process solid waste to separate materials for beneficial reuse.  We recover materials for their highest and best values including commodity value, organic value, and calorific value.  With our fully integrated system, an Envision Mixed Waste Processing Facility can divert up to 90% of residential and commercial waste into materials of beneficial reuse.

Reducing Your Recycling Program Costs:

Envision’s mixed waste processing facilities accept unsorted solid waste.  Therefore we do not require a separate route or separate containers for comingled recyclables.  The savings achieved by eliminating this second pickup is dramatic.  Further, our high landfill diversion rate allows mixed waste processing to achieve a savings on disposal costs.  The combined savings is designed to allow our mixed waste processing facilities to achieve an increase in recycling and an overall programmatic cost savings.

Improving the Environment:

Envision’s mixed waste processing facilities reduce waste volume previously destined for the landfill.  This helps to improve the environment as our materials are captured for reuse rather than buried in a landfill where those same materials would otherwise contribute to the creation of landfill gas, leachate, and carbon emissions.  Since our mixed waste processing facilities do not require a second route for the collection of comingled recyclables, we reduce vehicle routing by 50%.  Thus, we reduce carbon emissions from diesel trucks to half.  Last, our ADC product produced from sorted organic waste is designed to oxidize landfill gas up to 100% for substantial greenhouse gas emission reduction.  

Safety: 

At Envision, we place safety first.  Our systems are designed for fully automated operation. The principal is very simple. Eliminating hand sorting reduces sorting injuries by 100%!  Our wireless control technology is intelligent, yet it also allows for manual safety stop devices to be located anywhere.
