We change garbage into gold.
Electricity. Steam. Building materials. Synthetic diesel. Ethanol. Bedding mulch. Wastaway takes ordinary household garbage and creates a product that can be converted into any one of these items, and more. We convert garbage into a useful commodity - and while we do it, we keep from filling our landfills!
Wastaway has developed a revolutionary process that takes unsorted household garbage and converts it into a product called Fluff®, which can then be easily used in a variety of other ways. Fluff is similar in consistency to wood pulp, and can be processed for use as a growing medium for plants, can be gasified to generate steam, can be converted to ethanol or synthetic diesel, or can be compressed and extruded to make products such as construction materials.
Yesterday, this was 60 tons of household garbage, the amount of household waste generated by about 2,500 households in a week. Today, the Fluff we've created will be gasified to generate steam or electricity, converted to ethanol or synthetic diesel, converted into a peat moss substitute for nurseries, or extruded to make construction materials. Best of all, that is 60 tons of waste that is NOT headed for the local landfill. That's good for everyone!
And this isn't just a nice theory - Wastaway has been successfully recycling all unsorted household garbage on a commercial scale for an area of Middle Tennessee for the past five years, and Fluff has been used as a feedstock for a variety of other uses.
Wastaway was invented and engineered by the people from Bouldin & Lawson, a manufacturing company that invented heavy-duty shredders and machines for use by commercial nurseries. Because the local landfill was rapidly filling up, the brains at B&L began to experiment with conversion processes to help solve the Warren County landfill problem. The system they developed worked so well that over 200 local residents pooled their resources to support Wastaway's development, and today the system in Warren County alone has recycled over 30,000 tons of household waste. That's an impressive track record!
We invite you to take tour through our website to learn more about the revolutionary WastAway recycling process. See our process, learn how we might work with you, see products made from recycled garbage, and read news stories and scientific studies about WastAway.
