Just like your stomach processes food to produce energy for your body, we have giant mechanical stomachs that digest NYC’s waste and turn it into:
- Clean water that gets safely released back into the environment
- Biosolids that can be used as fertilizer
- Energy that can power our facilities and what’s leftover can be consumed as eletricity/gas in our local community
