The DWEC has the advantages of being smaller, lighter, and more fuel efficient and is coupled with a simple and practical energy recovery system. “The product that EWS is offering to the defense industry represents the kind of innovations that EWS is bringing to the broader waste-to-energy market”, said Eco Waste Solutions’ President, Steve Meldrum “Our energy technologies build on our well-proven waste disposal technology with a 20 year track record. This means our customers can realize the benefits now, instead of waiting years to get the bugs worked out of one of the pre-commercial technology platforms that also on the market”. Eco Waste Solutions technologies have been adopted by a number of industries as a trusted means of disposing of waste in a safe, sustainable, environmentally responsible way. Recent expansion of the EWS product line includes larger capacity systems and a broader range of energy recovery options. Eco Waste Solutions (EWS) is an award-winning, privately-held Canadian environmental technology company that custom engineers and manufactures proven, advanced thermal treatment technologies for solid and liquid waste.
