Municipalities need environmentally clean and economic facilities to manage Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) disposal. The ideal answer is the approach developed by World Waste. This enclosed facility can be located close to municipalities, requires relatively small amounts of property to operate and provides for the full disposal process to take place at a single point with little degradation to the urban environment. Additionally, trucking trips to the landfill would be significantly cut back, thereby reducing air emissions and saving airspace in the landfills.

The World Waste Conversion Process:

Ø        Residual MSW is delivered on-site and loaded into large autoclaves.

Ø        The autoclave doors, with specifically designed seals, are closed and locked. The MSW is then processed at proprietary conditions of time, temperature, moisture, and agitation while, using a patented process, the volatile organic compounds are captured and rendered inert.

Ø        At the cycle’s conclusion, the resulting sterilized materials are mechanically separated by type of commodity. Aluminum, tin and steel is baled for sale to commodities brokers. The cooked cellulose fibers  have been cleaned, screened and pressed into a wetlap pulp bales to be sold to manufacturers of box and packaging products. Alternative to producing wetlap pulp, we are continuing our research and development efforts on alternative renewal energy technologies to transform MSW into products such as ethanol and co-generated electricity.

Ø        The remaining MSW residuals, now condensed to less than half their original volume, are transported to the landfill for disposal.


World Waste intends to build additional facilities under the contract with the Solid Waste processor in Anaheim. Management believes this larger plant can be replicated across future sites nationwide, that it will have significant economies of scale, and that each plant will be capable of producing revenues proportional to it's size (including all three revenue streams: tipping fees, standard recyclables, and cellulose recovery).

Future plant expansion will include partnerships which will guarantee the facility’s cost and performance through turnkey design, engineering and construction contracts. We expect that much of our future growth may be financed through project finance and other debt structures. World Waste’s growth strategy includes immediate expansion into other California geographies, as well as national and international growth.
