Thermo Tech Breaks Ground For The Detroit Plant
Thermo Tech Technologies, a leading Canadian environmental and organic waste recycling company, held its official groundbreaking ceremony for the Detroit Thermo Master Mark III plant on July 5.

In North America alone, more than 100 million tons of wet waste are disposed of in landfills each year which take up valuable land space, produce foul odors and methane gases that contaminate the air and groundwater. Utilizing the Thermo Tech technology process will drastically reduce the amount of organic waste in landfills and sewage sludge dumped into the river. Thermo Tech has developed and patented an innovative, odorless thermophilic process that is utilized in compact and environmentally friendly Thermo Master plants to rapidly convert biodegradable food waste into high protein animal feed and wastewater treatment sludges into fertilizer concentrate.
Thermo Tech is an international company with offices in Toronto, Ontario and additional ventures in Europe and Asia. For more information visit the web-site at www.ttrif.com.
