Edmonton's expertise in waste management is heading to China.
Waste RE-solutions, a City of Edmonton-owned private company that markets Edmonton's waste-management expertise internationally, is hoping to develop a facility which will process garbage in the east-central China city of Lichuan, along with Chinese partners.
Once operational, the facility would process 150 tonnes per day of Lichuan's municipal waste stream into recyclables and fertilizer for agricultural use.
Lichuan has a population of close to 800,000.
