Wāstaway® and Alpine Energy Group will join the Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) and the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (VIWAPA), co-hosts for the Caribbean Water and Wastewater Conference, in featuring their recently announced energy from waste project.

The conference is the single largest assembly of water and waste resources professionals and executives in the Caribbean. The event also provides the opportunity for vendors to exhibit technologies and services.
