Our KUJ pretreatment platform
Through our platform in KUJAWY we are able to transform raw waste into ready to co-process waste. 240 kt of waste from municipalities and industries were prepared in our KUJ facility last year.

We are able to produce two kinds of RDF- burner and calciner because of air separator located between first and second shredder. It is the biggest and the most modern platform in Poland fully protected by fire fighting system.
