About Attero
Attero: Transforming Waste into Sustainable Energy and Resources
At Attero, we believe that waste is not just a problem to be disposed of, but a valuable resource that can be harnessed for sustainable energy and materials. As one of the leading waste management companies in the Netherlands, we are committed to transforming the way we think about waste and its potential.
Our mission is simple: to create a circular economy where waste is no longer seen as a burden but as an opportunity. We achieve this by using innovative technologies and processes to extract as much value as possible from every type of waste, from household garbage to industrial byproducts.
One of our core areas of expertise is in converting organic waste into biogas through anaerobic digestion. This process involves breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing methane gas that can be used for electricity generation or heating. We operate several biogas plants across the country, which collectively produce enough energy to power thousands of homes.
In addition to biogas production, we also specialize in recovering valuable materials from various types of waste streams. For example, we have developed advanced sorting systems that can separate different types of plastics based on their chemical composition or color. This allows us to recycle more plastic than ever before and reduce our reliance on virgin materials.
Another area where Attero excels is in landfill mining – a process whereby old landfills are excavated and their contents sorted for recycling or energy recovery. By doing so, we not only recover valuable resources but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by decomposing organic matter.
But our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just managing waste – it extends throughout our entire organization. We strive to minimize our own environmental impact by reducing energy consumption at our facilities and promoting sustainable practices among employees.
At Attero, we are proud pioneers in the field of sustainable waste management. Our innovative solutions have earned us numerous awards and recognition both nationally and internationally. But more importantly, they have helped us move closer towards creating a world where nothing goes to waste – everything has value if you know how to unlock it!
