The Waste Transformers | Realizing positive change with waste

We are The Waste Transformers

Inspired by the Circular Economy

The Waste Transformers create decentralized, nutrient and energy hubs by converting residual waste streams into energy, whilst recovering (on-site) the natural resources and water in the waste. We empower local communities to leverage their waste to power positive change. Using smart business models, we do this in a way that is financially attractive today. It is a small-scale, high impact approach that is revolutionizing the way we deal with waste.

WHY

We are on a mission to revolutionize the way we deal with waste. Why? Because waste is a valuable resource that should not be wasted. The Waste Transformers work from the principle of reduce, reuse and recycle. What do we do with what remains? Inspired by the values of the circular economy, we leverage the value of residual waste as an instrument of positive change by transforming it into new products; green energy, natural fertilizer and water. We do all of this on-site. No transport. With a healthy business case.
Trash is cash. Trash is cool.

HOW

We provide a green, entrepreneurial alternative to the old model of make, use and discard by creating on-site circular economies around waste. No more need to transport waste over long distances. Rather we allow you to harness your waste at the source, to power your growth. Our business models are smart, with payback times between 3 to 5 years.

Are you a waste producer (hotel, hospital or airport) with 600 kg/day of waste and up? We have a solution for you. Are you a young entrepreneur? We can help you set up a healthy business that will clean-up and power your neighbourhood. Or, if you are from a local town council and ready to do things smarter, get in touch. We can help you turn your waste from an environmental and social burden into a driver of social cohesion.

WHAT

Your waste contains anywhere between 40 – 70% organic matter that mostly consists of dirty water. Currently, waste management consists of transporting this dirty water on dirty diesel and then either dumping it or burning it. What a waste! We process waste on site, in modular installations, the size of one or more sea containers. Our proprietary technology® is plug and play and complies to the highest safety standards. We adjust the amount of sea containers to the amount of waste you have. In this way, your community, hospitals, airports, farms, hotel resorts, islands, shopping centres all get to power their own future.

What about other waste streams?

We are able to transform your other waste streams into value. In a way that is onsite, containerized and in a closed system. Interested in finding out more about the options?

What to convert?

We handle organic waste as a source. But what kind of waste is used in a Waste Transformer?
In this short movie, Lara explains what goes into a waste transformer and how we up-cycle what comes out into value.
