Getting the best bang for the waste buck

Article Abstract:

Solid Waste Management Authority-owned $53-million factory employs a new concept for material recovery facilities, called integrated waste processing, which enables the factory not only in separating waste, but in producing and marketing raw materials ready for production processes and for consumer markets. Atlanta, GA-based Municipal Waste Management, which is the designer and builder of the factory of Crisp County, GA-based Solid Waste, will act as the operator of the factory under a five-year agreement. Municipal Waste and Wastech Equipment LLC of Atlanta were the developers of the procedures and processes that are being employed at the factory.

Computer trash turns into cash and glass

Article Abstract:

A new vitrification technology was developed by scientists at the US Department of Energy's Savannah River Technology Center to provide a means to handle wastes from computer peripherals. The technique recovers useful base metals in the computer peripherals, while the left-over will be turned into glass to be landfilled or used as filters in concrete, asphalt, brick or tile. The new process for stabilizing and reducing the volume of organics-containing wastes uses a catalyst that causes effective metals recovery and oxidation of organic constituents.
