About ECOSTART
ECOSTART a.s. operates a power plant in Badín, Slovakia, that generates electricity from a fermented mixture of biomass, mainly stabilised sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants, wood chips, bark and plant material. All electricity produced is supplied to the regional distribution network.
The company also accepts biodegradable waste from neighbouring municipalities, businesses and sole traders, such as branches, leaves and garden waste, and processes it in its fermentation process. It offers composting and fermentation services to partners with their own composting sites, from community to industrial scale.
The plant has operated continuously since February 2012 and is presented as the first Slovak power plant using fermented biomass mixture. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications and PEFC certification, and employs more than 40 people from the local area.
Product: Electricity generation from a fermented biomass mixture (incl. treated municipal sewage sludge), with biodegradable waste acceptance and composting services.
