Our Earth is finite. Many resources and elements are limited on our planet. Year by year, it becomes more difficult and resource-intensive to extract certain materials from the ground. At the same time, we humans are generating more and more waste, waste that often contains the very resources that need to be mined and extracted at great cost and often with climate-damaging methods. Yet, we incinerate this waste along with valuable resources. It is the simplest method to get rid of the waste, but this incineration is often uneconomical and produces large amounts of CO2, one of the gases accelerating climate change. Thus, we are addressing one problem by exacerbating another.
Some of these resources are so valuable that a temporary scarcity can lead to skyrocketing prices on the global market. Resources that are so valuable and necessary that humanity would be endangered if they were to disappear from the world tomorrow.
What if there was a way to recover these very resources from the everyday waste generated by people and return them to nature?
What if, in the process of dealing with this waste, we could capture CO2 and have it serve as a solid component of nature for hundreds of years?
What if all of this were also economically feasible and profitable?
What may sound like mere dreaming is already a reality. Approaches to processing and positively utilizing waste have existed for a long time. More and more people are separating and recycling their trash and are mindful of purchasing products made from sustainable or, ideally, recycled materials. Upcycling is well-known worldwide.
There are technological possibilities capable of solving all three problems at once:
1. Utilizing one of the largest categories of waste in cities.
2. Obtaining fundamentally important resources for humanity.
3. Binding CO2 as a material for hundreds of years.
At SUWABI, we have precisely this concept, which contributes to 8 of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Our goal is to work in partnership with cities that are willing to address these problems rather than just talk about them.
We specialize in working together with these cities to implement the logistics and upcycling of waste in a way that benefits everyone, including economically.
So, if you are looking for solutions to the problems of waste disposal, CO2 reduction, and resource recovery, please contact us. We look forward to discussing the application possibilities of our concept with you.
