Welcome to Sinowatek!

Turning wet waste into value

We transform producers’ value chains into more sustainable and profitable cycles by unlocking the circular economy of their product-specific waste.

What is a circular economy?

The classic definition of the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development lies in the Brundtland Report of the United Nations,1987, which defines sustainable development as development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.  Based on this definition, current economic growth is not sustainable, because it follows a linear production model with finite resources and a limited capacity to absorb waste.  The ability of future generations to meet their needs on the planet is therefore severely limited by the depletion of natural resources on the one hand and the excessive accumulation of waste on the other.

The circular economy provides a potential solution to this predicament.  It is a technology-focused model that generates economic growth while reducing pressure on the environment.  It is premised on three principles, namely the elimination of waste and pollution, the circulation of products and materials and the regeneration of the environment.

Sinowatek’s process of creating a value cycle

Dewatering

The first step in the valorization of wet waste is the dewatering of the viscous mixture, seperating it into liquid and solid fractions. We selected the appropriate high-quality, innovative, eco-friendly technology to dewater the wet waste. Next, we treat and transform these waste products.

Solids

Solids

The solid fraction, still in viscous form, is valorized by drying it into a powder with the progressive, energy-efficient pulse combustion drying (PCD) technology.

Water

The water-bourne filtrate is treated with cutting-edge, environmentally-friendly SulafectTM disinfectant.

Commercial output products

A circular economy is created by linking transformed waste products back into the value cycle – profiting businesses while protecting the environment.
