Asset Highlights

First facility of its kind for sorting and recycling municipal waste

Using anaerobic digestion technology to generate clean electricity from biogas and compostation to produce fertilizer for agriculture

A safety net from the state to guarantee the facility's income

The first facility of its kind in Israel municipal waste treatment through the use of innovative and advanced technologies for waste recycling and treatment. Construction of the facility began in early 2023, and it is expected to be the largest in Israel and among the largest of its kind in the world. It is designed to provide a response to local authorities in the Tel Aviv district and the center of Israel, which are responsible for producing about half of the amount of waste in Israel. Considering that the facility is expected to recycle approximately 60% of the waste received, it will dramatically reduce the amount of waste landfill in Israel.

The facility is expected to provide a complete end-to-end solution for the waste received in it, based on three main stages: absorption and sorting, anaerobic digestion and composting. During its operation, the facility is expected to generate income mainly from absorption fees, for waste received at the factory gate, from the sale of recycling products and from the sale of electricity which will be produced in the facility, using the biogas method.
