IIPC Sydney

IIPC Sydney just wrapped up an inspiring meeting with Mr. Joseph Taouk, the managing director of Waste Circology. This company is specializing in innovative waste solutions. We explored their impressive Organic Carbonisation System (OCN)—a low-emission technology that transforms organic solid waste into a rich char-carbon compound. This innovation not only reduces the need for fertilizers but also boosts agricultural productivity, especially in marginal soils. This technology could be a very bright solution for big cities in Indonesia such as Jakarta, that produces up to 8.000 tons waste per day🗑️ IIPC Sydney will gladly take part of this collaboration to support sustainable solutions for a greener future! 🌏♻️
