Geminor’s business is the recycling and recovery of waste materials, and in doing so we divert waste from landfill disposal routes. We contract with several highly rated energy-from-waste facilities that use both the heat and the power generated from the waste fuels. Geminor’s logistics partners use return load transport for the movement of waste on road and sea, minimizing transport impacts. We are constantly seeking more innovative ways to recycle and recover waste including supporting new facilities which will use secondary fuels to manufacture petrol and jet fuel replacements.
