We are interested in technologies and techniques that reduce the risk associated with our waste for example, encapsulation in grout, and reduce the lifecycle cost of managing our waste such as, thermal treatment to reduce volume. This also includes the retrieval (using robotics) and sorting of wastes (autonomous segregation) as well as the treatment of secondary wastes (gaseous and liquid discharges) generated during our operations.
