THE COMPANY
As an innovative company we are aware that energy
resources are continuing to dwindle. Our technical
competence and innovative thinking make an impor-
tant contribution to discovering so far unused residual
materials.
To ensure the planet Earth is preserved
for future generations.
The fundamental notion of ecology is the most
important part of our company’s philosophy:
Dry organic residual materials converted to fuel.
Making briquettes as a precondition for recycling.
Great ecological benefit:
Making briquettes produces almost no residual
materials to be disposed of.
