Waste Management

At Amcana, our extensive experience in policy and regulation, environmental excellence, renewable energy, and resource conservation all come to bear in our work within the waste management industry. We work closely with clients and partners in the waste management space, and are acutely aware of the challenges that the industry faces.

The waste management industry has grown from unregulated rudimentary dumps to high-tech resource recovery facilities that boast some of the most reliable sources of renewable energy. Amcana understands which solutions are appropriate, what regulations are on the horizon, and has a deep insight into the entire waste prevention, generation, collection, management, and utilization systems.

Waste-to-Energy

Commonly deployed effectively throughout Europe and Asia, waste-to-energy systems continue to gain traction as energy prices continue to rise, technologies continually improve, and landfill operating costs keep on growing. Waste-to-energy delivers renewable energy to the grid while maximizing the amount of waste that can be handled on smaller parcels of land. Besides providing increased revenue, waste-to-energy plants remove much of the standard O&M costs associated with traditional landfills, and also mitigate some of the operating and post-closure risks, such as landfill gas migration and leachate seepage into groundwater.

Resource Recovery

Resource recovery is one of the best solutions for waste management professionals when it comes to improving the bottom line, by providing new sources of revenue and lowering capital, permitting, and operating costs through more efficient use of landfill airspace. Amcana can help develop a successful resource recovery strategy, whether you are proactively managing your waste streams or reacting to oncoming government regulation.

Landfill Gas-to-Energy

Amcana understands the great and often untapped potential of landfill gas-to-energy systems. Both small and large landfills are improving the bottom line, generating renewable energy, effectively managing risks, reducing odor and groundwater concerns, and decreasing future operating and post-closure costs by collecting their landfill gas for beneficial use.
