Dive Insight:
Recycling ethanol is more likely than ever to be considered as a revenue stream by the waste and recycling industry. Enerkem Inc., based in Montreal, opened a waste-to-biofuels and chemicals plant in Alberta, Canada last year. Other companies also have invested in the process, including Waste Management Inc., which partnered four years ago with Fulcrum Bioenergy Inc. in waste-to-energy projects.
