COMPASS BOASTS ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS INITIATIVES

We understand energy is precious. With that in mind, we use an energy recovery system and HFO (heating fuel oil) boilers to increase boiler efficiency, reducing fuel and electrical costs. Using the HFO boiler drastically reduces the energy requirement to treat each kilogram of waste by 64%.

In addition, our closed loop water cooling system ensures that minimal water leaves the site resulting in a water consumption reduction of 50%. While our reusable container washers also reduce the amount of energy and water required in the washing process.
