Hantsch is a French company that is a partner of municipalities, public and private companies, and has specialized for more than 40 years in mechanical and biological waste recycling, as well as treatment of wood biomass. As such, we have designed and optimized more than 300 organic waste recovery units in France and Europe, equipped with more than 700 machines from our partners KOMPTECH and WILLIBALD. This commitment to the world of “biomass and biowaste recovery” has enabled us to observe the changes and measure the needs and constraints to which the operators of the platforms treatment facilities are subject.
Regulatory changes have led us to work with them to develop test new technical solutions:
-For the production of biomass from biowaste collected in composting plants.
-For the production of compost meeting the most stringent requirements
-For the stabilization of household waste by mechanical-biological treatment according EU regulations.
-For the production of alternative fuels from industrial waste.
… But always with the objective of transforming waste into value.
Our team takes care of your projects from preliminary audits to commissioning and operation assistance with a priority concern for a long lasting relationship.
