Amut EcoTech, an Italian waste sorting company, has built a recycling plant for the city of Minya in Egypt, funded by the United Nations Development Programme and the Italian Government’s Egyptian Debt for Development Swap Programme.
The plant will recycle solid waste from Minya, starting operation in June 2017.
It has been designed to reduce the volume of waste sent to landfill, optimise the quality of recyclable materials and produce higher calorific value of final Refuse Derived Fuel.
The facility is designed to segregate 300 ton per day of rubbish. Dry waste will be processed for extracting recyclable materials ready for sale and fuel for cement factories, whilst organic waste will be biologically treated to produce compost for safe agricultural applications.
