Did you know that Attero is a market leader in recovering raw materials from residual waste?

Yes, Attero is a market leader in recovering raw materials from residual waste. Let us learn how; Attero is an environmental company that operates in the national and international arena. For 99almost 90 years, they have been active in recovering and reusing energy and raw materials from waste. Their business consists of strong waste-processing companies and we have become the market leader in the Netherlands.  Their Energy-from-Waste plants in Moerdijk and Wijster process residual waste into energy. That is half of the waste supply that they process on an annual basis. Attero believes that incinerating residual waste is valuable and responsible; it generates sustainable energy in the form of heat and/or steam. Half of that is green too. It means they do not have to extract oil, coal or gas from the planet. Besides wind energy, Energy-from-Waste has been the largest source of sustainable energy in the Netherlands for many years. Attero is also market leader in recovering raw materials from residual waste. Their separating and sorting plants remove plastics, drinks cartons, metals and food remnants that are converted into raw materials and energy. Plastics are sorted, shredded and washed and then granulated into new plastic granules, ready to become new products. Then there are compost products for a healthy soil for our crops and vegetables, for planting trees or building recreation areas and sports fields. Every year, Attero produces hundreds of thousands of tonnes of high-grade compost from source-separated VGF. It also generates millions of cubic meters of green gas, a clean alternative to fossil gas. Attero cleans contaminated soil, reduces rubble to usable road surfacing materials and creates lego concrete blocks and retaining walls from inert flows. They are all products and raw materials that limit the need to excavate vulnerable areas to extract sand or gravel. For harmful substances that they want to keep out of the environment forever, Attero still provides the utility function of a landfill for the coming decades. This means they can help to remove asbestos roofs safely from our living environment forevermore. Our approach They match their processes to the needs of our clients. Efficiency, sustainability and safe working and low costs are their guiding principles, and therefore they are constantly adapting teir technology. It is their way of contributing to a clean living environment. With all these efforts, their operations are almost CO₂-neutral and that fact is as motivating as it is energizing. They believe that processing, recycling, energy generation and useful application of waste should be affordable and efficient. There has to be level playing field when it comes to attracting waste flows and marketing the generated energy and raw materials.
