South Carolina recycling and energy recovery firm, RePower South, has begun construction of the Berkeley County waste recycling equipment.
RPS development partners include Barnhill Contracting Company to construct the facility; Bulk Handling Systems to provide the waste solution system, and Loesche Energy Systemsto provide the fuel manufacturing system. RPS licenses the fuel technology (ReEngineered FeedstockTM) from Accordant Energy. The facility is slated to begin operations in early 2019.
“This method encourages citizens to do what is environmentally friendly, without the hassle of sorting, proving it is possible to increase recycling efforts in communities,” explained Berkeley County Supervisor Bill Peagler.
“We are grateful and humbled by the courage, leadership, and support of Berkeley County Supervisor William Peagler, the members Berkeley County Council, and Berkeley County Water and Sanitation for selecting RePower to deliver this cost-effective solution to their citizens.
Shepard continued: “We know there’s a better way for our nation to manage garbage, and we are excited that Berkeley County agrees. We look forward to this facility serving as a model for the world to move towards a more sustainable waste and energy future.”
