Eco Waste Solutions opens manufacturing facility in New York

Eco Waste Solutions, a Batavia, New York-based thermal waste conversion solutions provider, has opened its newly renovated solid waste disposal systems manufacturing facility in Batavia.

The company held an opening event, which included members of the U.S. Military, Batavia and Genesee County officials and representatives from state and federal offices.

Eco Waste Solutions anticipates hiring up to 30 employees at this location to manufacture and support its line of thermal treatment technologies. The company says the facility is specifically designed for mass production of the Expeditionary Solid Waste Disposal Systems (ESWDS) for the United States Army. The ESWDS eliminates the need to rely on burn pits, Eco Waste Solutions says.

“The health and safety of our personnel is of paramount importance, and the ESWDS manufactured by Eco Waste Solutions gives us a safe and critically important tool to address waste management in conflict zones,” U.S. Army Lt. Col. Reuben Joseph says.

Eco Waste Solutions says the ESWDS product represents more than a decade of product development, including thousands of operations hours and testing to military standards.

“The result is a product that is robust, capable and easy to transport, set-up and use,” the company says in a news release.

Eco Waste Solutions was founded in 1993 and delivers thermal waste conversion solutions to companies, communities, governments and military organizations. The company says its technologies have diverted millions of tons of waste from landfills.

“Today marks an important milestone for our company,” Eco Waste Solutions President and CEO Jean Lucas says. “The opening of this facility significantly enhances our production, support and engineering capabilities; an investment that reflects our commitment to building high-quality, innovative and sustainable products. We are proud to be doing this work and excited to be part of this vibrant community.”
