The second issue of Opportunity Magazine is out now! This time the topic of biogenic waste is in the focus and is treated in its most diverse facets.

“Every time I look at a map there are new regions we can supply. We’re already active in over 80 countries,” says Ewald Konrad, Sales Director at Komptech, not without pride and gratitude. “Without reliable local partners we never could have reached this global presence.”

Stefan Lengel is an industry pioneer. Inheriting an agricultural operation in 1988, he became one of the first in Austria to set up a plant for composting organic waste and green cuttings.

The Rhein-Main Deponie GmbH (RMD) is located in the middle of Germany, between Wiesbaden and Frankfurt. This municipal utility specializes in using organic waste, and is the largest producer of renewably generated energy in the region.

Corporate Social Responsibility has always held a high priority at Komptech. This shows in our clearly defined sustainability strategy, and in our social commitment to local institutions.

After a rental period, Seongchang Environment decided to buy two Komptech machines. The experts for mixed solid waste recycling could increase their production line capacity by 30 percent.

In the shift to a circular economy, the production and use of refuse-derived fuels (RDF) is becoming increasingly important. Refuse-derived fuels can be extracted from industrial and commercial waste, and even from some household (residual) waste.

The Lacero high-performance shredder is one of Komptech’s latest innovations. Thanks to close cooperation with our Dutch partner PON Equipment BV and customer Den Ouden, the machine has been developed for shredding all types of green waste and wood.

Waste wood from agriculture and forestry can be a sustainable replacement for fossil fuels, and an important contributor to the energy shift.

Household waste has high recycling potential. But increasing the rate of material and energy
reclamation presents challenges for machinery producers and waste disposal companies.

Three years ago the Indonesian government tasked Komptech with the development of a stationary facility design for processing solid waste for recycling, to be used at three locations. Now the machines are ready and the pilot projects can start.
