The provider of materials handling and recovery solutions to the waste processing sector was hired by US-based waste company Boyas Recycling, who will operate the planned site.
The project is a partnership with North American waste technology company Viably (formerly Komptech Americas).
Geoff Bailey, CEO of Turmec, commented: “This marks an exciting milestone as our first US-based collaboration with Viably. The capabilities of this new plant will not only set new benchmarks for Boyas Recycling but also showcase the immense potential of cutting-edge recycling technology that will transform waste recovery in the region.”
The materials recovery facility (MRF) will be located in Valley View, Ohio, and will process waste from the greater Cleveland area.
Its operations will feature front-load service, container service, an active C&D landfill, mulch production, and soil and aggregate operations.
The site is scheduled to be completed in the last quarter of 2025, most likely October.
Notably, the site is aiming for an initial targeted recovery rate of at least 80% which has the potential to be increased to 90% in Phase II of the project.
Pete Ristagno Jr, co-owner of Boyas Recycling, said: “Boyas Recycling has taken a monumental step forward in sustainability with the acquisition of aRemove featured image state-of-the-art C&D MRF from Turmec and Viably. This advanced system, featuring cutting-edge European technology, is unlike anything the US C&D recycling industry has seen before.
“More than just a client-vendor transaction, this partnership represents a marriage of innovation and expertise, positioning Boyas Recycling at the forefront of material recovery and environmental responsibility. With this high-efficiency processing system, Boyas will significantly increase diversion rates, maximise resource recovery, and set a new benchmark for sustainable waste management. This transformative investment underscores Boyas Recycling’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the future of circular economy solutions.”
Brandon Lapsys, president of Viably, added: “Viably is thrilled to partner with Turmec and Boyas Recycling, to bring this state-of-the-art plant system to Ohio. We are constantly exploring new partnerships and solutions in the global marketplace to help our customers succeed.
“This milestone project is the result of combining cutting-edge technology with a shared vision for innovatively tackling construction and demolition waste. We anticipate this will be the first of many new plants delivered in the coming years to revolutionise waste processing and recovery.”
Turmec and Viably announced a strategic partnership at the start of the month to expand into the US and have now said that they hope to use this project as an opportunity for growth.
