In Tartu, Estonia, Epleri & Lorenzi runs a hazardous waste incineration facility that has been operational in handling nearly 2000 tons of waste each year. The facility is crucial for managing dangerous waste effectively while minimizing its environmental impact. However, a much larger and more advanced incineration plant is on the horizon, poised to significantly increase processing capacity.

The upcoming facility is expected to enter a testing phase this summer and is notable for being seven times more powerful than the current plant. This enhancement implies a much higher throughput of hazardous waste, which could lead to increased efficiency in waste management and energy production. By converting hazardous materials into energy for indoor heating and electricity, the plant promises to contribute not only to waste reduction but also to sustainable energy solutions in the region.

As Estonia continues to grapple with environmental challenges and seeks to enhance its energy independence, the introduction of this upgraded facility may serve as a model for other regions facing similar waste management issues. The project's implications extend beyond local waste processing, potentially influencing energy policy and environmental practices across Estonia.
