Over 300MM tons of plastic waste are produced each year and only 9% are recycled and 12% incinerated – the rest ends up in landfills or in the environment. Insufficient recycling infrastructure contribute to the accumulation of plastic waste in landfills, oceans, and natural environments.
Here's How We're Making a Difference
Eliminates the Need for Landfills
Cogo Eco-Tech Solutions aims to revolutionize municipal solid waste (MSW) management by converting waste into valuable eco-friendly products. This approach can significantly decrease the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, which are known to be environmentally detrimental, posing threats to soil and water through pollutant leaching.
Distributed Model Can Scale From Small Towns to Large Cities
Our technology and systems are designed to be adaptable and scalable, enabling their implementation in a varied range of geographical contexts. This means that whether it's a small town or a major city, Cogo's solutions can be tailored to fit the specific waste management needs of the community, illustrating flexibility in operation size.
Increased Recycling Rates
With over 300 million tons of plastic waste produced annually and a minute fraction being recycled, there is a clear inefficiency in the current recycling infrastructure. Our approach encourages higher recycling rates by improving this infrastructure and integrating innovative recycling solutions, thus aiming to decrease the amount of waste that is not recycled.
Reduces CO2 Emissions
By diverting waste from landfills and converting it into usable products, our technology reduces the methane emissions typically associated with decomposing waste. Considering it's a potent greenhouse gas, by minimizing this emission, we're contributing to a reduction in overall CO2 equivalent emissions.
Reduces Coal Exploration
Our waste-to-energy model is a shift away from fossil fuels such as coal for energy production. By converting waste to energy, we displace the need for traditional coal-based energy, leading to reduced exploration and extraction of coal, which is beneficial for the environment.
Carbon Sequestration
Our innovative technologies capture CO2 directly from the industrial processes or the atmosphere and store it, thus reducing the overall greenhouse gases in the environment.
Cost-Effective Solution
Our solutions are a cost-effective, viable alternative to traditional waste management and energy production methods. This cost-effectiveness is due to the reduced need for landfill space, lower emissions, and the production of energy or other resources from waste.
90-120 Days To Install and Deploy 100 TPD Unit
Our technology is not only efficient but also quick to implement. A 100 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) unit can be installed and deployed within 90 to 120 days, a relatively swift transition process for communities looking to overhaul their waste management systems.
