BurCell Technologies, a leader in sustainable waste management and renewable energy solutions, announced a strategic partnership with eFACTOR3, a premier supplier of custom recycling equipment and integrated systems. This collaboration combines eFACTOR3’s advanced waste processing technologies with BurCell’s proprietary system to create a comprehensive solution that converts municipal solid waste into renewable fuels.
The partnership leverages eFACTOR3’s integrated equipment system, featuring the M&J PreShred 4000M mobile shredder, Ecostar Hextra 70003F screening system, and Westeria AirBasic windsifter, to prepare municipal solid waste for seamless integration with the BurCell System. This combined approach enables waste management facilities to recover over 90 percent of valuable organics from mixed waste streams and convert them into renewable natural gas and renewable solid fuel.
Once processed through eFACTOR3’s integrated system, the material is fed directly into BurCell’s low-temperature vacuum-assisted pretreatment process, which produces a homogeneous organic feedstock. This enhanced feedstock digests more quickly and thoroughly than traditionally processed materials, resulting in sustained and predictable biogas generation. The BurCell System can divert up to 75 percent of processed waste from landfills while maximizing resource recovery.
“The future of waste management lies in intelligent integration,” said Hartmut Bendfeldt, president and founder of eFACTOR3. “Our collaboration with BurCell brings together proven mechanical processing and innovative waste-to-fuel conversion, showing how technology, when thoughtfully combined, can redefine what’s possible for municipal resource recovery.”
With over 2,600 landfills across the United States reaching capacity and recycling programs facing cancellations, innovative integrated solutions have become essential infrastructure for municipalities. This partnership provides communities with a cost-effective solution that reduces disposal costs by up to 40 percent while generating renewable energy and recovering recyclable materials.
