By 2030, waste-to-energy will be key to solving the energy shortage and climate change.
At ECOLAND, we are aware of this magnitude, and through our special processes and
techniques, we are addressing environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions
and waste volumes.
Waste processing
Composts and livestock feed are made from raw organic waste from the major agri-food
industries in Morocco.
These materials are used to produce high quality compost for use in household and farm
gardening, with the ultimate goal of increasing soil fertility while reducing the environmental
damage of chemical fertilizers.
Anaerobic Digestion
A process that involves the spontaneous decomposition of biodegradable materials by
microbes in the absence of oxygen. Food waste, wastewater treatment solids, miscellaneous
and industrial residues are examples of biodegradable materials that can be used to
contribute to waste management and energy needs.
Biodrying
Biodrying is synonymous with the pretreatment of solid waste containing biological and
mechanical elements. In an environment where solid waste is unsorted and contains a
significant amount of moisture, biodrying processes come into play to avoid the use of
methods such as burning solid waste which can be dangerous in the long run.
Composting
Composting is a biological process in which organic waste is transformed by
micro-organisms, mainly fungi and bacteria. The result of this process, which resembles soil,
is rich in carbon and nitrogen, making it an ideal growth medium for plants.
Percolation
By recirculating the percolates, a physical and biological process allows the washing of the
soluble organic matter included in the waste. Batches are used in this technique. Depending
on the final valorisation envisaged, the remaining solid matter can be composted or treated
by bio-drying at the end of the process.
