The Plasco Advantage
95% of the waste processed by the Plasco Conversion System will be diverted from landfill and converted into useful and environmentally friendly co-products. By converting garbage that can’t be recycled into green power and other valuable products, nothing is wasted.
Plasco offers the following benefits to Red Deer and its surrounding communities:
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the displacement of fossil fuel or natural gas power generation and avoided methane from landfill waste
- Curbs landfill growth and expansion
- Creates local jobs (65 construction jobs and 37 permanent, clean tech jobs)
- Possible revenue sharing
- Modular system that can be phased-in as required
- Visitor Centre for educating students and the public about waste reduction, recycling and recovery
