Organic matter in the process of Limpulación

The decomposition of organic matter in landfills poses a worrying environmental challenge. As organic waste decomposes, it releases greenhouse gases, such as methane, which contribute to global warming. In addition, toxic leachates generated during this process can contaminate nearby soil and water sources, threatening biodiversity and human health. More sustainable approaches are essential to mitigate these negative impacts and move towards more responsible waste management.

Thermowaste’s patented process of Limpulación allows the materials that make up household waste to be recovered and reintroduced into production cycles. One of the most interesting recovered materials is the granular biomass into which the organic matter is converted, which among its various applications can be used for the production of biogas. Oscar Ribas, CEO of Thermowaste, explains this on RNE’s Aragón Informativos.
