BioHiTech Global Subsidiary in Contract with National Waste Management Services Company to Help International Automobile Manufacturer Achieve Zero Waste Goals
Company's Martinsburg HEBioT™ Facility to process all non-recyclable waste generated at one of the manufacturer's North American vehicle production plants
Chestnut Ridge, N.Y., Oct. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BioHiTech Global, Inc. ("BioHiTech" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BHTG), a technology and services company that provides cost-effective and sustainable waste management solutions, today announced that it has entered into a contract with a national waste management services company to help a leading international automobile manufacturer achieve sustainability goals at one of its North American vehicle production plants (the "Production Plant").
Under the terms of the contract, all non-recyclable waste generated at the Production Plant will be transported to BioHiTech's Martinsburg HEBioT Facility for processing. The Martinsburg HEBioT Facility diverts as much as 80% of waste from landfills by utilizing a patented high efficiency mechanical and biological treatment process ("HEBioT Process"). The HEBioT Process results in the production of an EPA recognized renewable fuel that can be used as a partial replacement for coal. The 56,000 square foot Martinsburg HEBioT Facility is completely enclosed and fully automated with no waste or odors being exposed to the outside environment. The Company estimates the contract will result in the diversion of over 1.1 million pounds of waste from landfills annually.
"We are excited to partner with this national waste services company and its customer to help achieve their important sustainability goals," said Frank E. Celli, CEO of BioHiTech Global. "Our Martinsburg Facility offers several key environmental benefits including up to an 80% reduction in landfill usage, the cost-effective transformation of municipal waste (including non-recyclable plastics) into a renewable fuel that is cleaner burning than coal, and a significant reduction in greenhouse gasses associated with traditional disposal. These environmental benefits are why companies like these are seeking to deviate from the norm and join us to forge a new, more sustainable approach to waste disposal in the United States. We look forward to replicating this model with other like-minded companies at our Martinsburg facility as well as our future facilities in the years to come."
