Eggersmann wins 1st prize

MEWAR Awards is the most prestigious event in the environmental sector that recognise outstanding individuals and organisations in the Middle East that have demonstrated leadership and innovation in their respective fields and have significantly contributed to environmental sustainability along with economic viability, ultimately contributing to the vision of the region’s governments of a greener future.

The Eggersmann company received first prize for its innovative Eggersmann FUEL process and specifically for developing and building the mechanical biological treatment facility in the city of Sulaymaniyah, northern Iraq. The project tackles the issue of landfilling of municipal solid waste by converting it into refuse-derived fuel, thereby providing Gasin Cement Co, a company of the Faruk Group, with an alternative fuel source and reducing the environmental impact of waste disposal in the region.

Engineer Jan Gressmann, the project manager, proudly received the award on behalf of the company.
