What Waste Technologies does

Waste Technologies LLC (WTL) is a privately held, founder-owned environmental engineering company founded in September 2013 by Dr. Moinuddin Sarker (Chairman, CEO, CTO, and sole owner) and Dr. Anjuman Shelly (Co-Founder and Co-Chairman). Headquartered at 1376 Chopsey Hill Road in Bridgeport, Connecticut, the company develops turnkey municipal solid waste (MSW) processing solutions that convert plastic and organic waste into Fuel, Gas, and Fertilizer (FGF). Its customer base is composed almost exclusively of municipal governments, city corporations, and state-level authorities in markets including the United States, Bangladesh, Ireland, Senegal, and Israel.

The company's core technology is a proprietary thermal and biochemical conversion process anchored by US Patent 8,927,797 B2 ("Method for converting waste plastics to lower-molecular weight hydrocarbons"), with an additional PCT application (PCT/US2019/038442) for plastic-to-fuel methods and systems. According to company disclosures, the technology processes all categories of waste plastics and organic MSW into multiple output streams: from one ton of waste plastics, the company claims yields of 1,300 liters of low-sulfur diesel, 23 liters of aviation fuel, and ten 12.5 kg cylinders of LPG, with less than 2% solid residue. The integrated system includes mechanical waste sorting (separation by size, density, and magnetic properties), anaerobic/biochemical digestion of organic waste into biogas and compost fertilizer, and electricity generation from produced fuels. WTL also offers environmental consultancy, landfill management services, and contract R&D services led by Dr. Sarker.

WTL operates a project-based revenue model with multi-year contract cycles, quoting customized turnkey plant installations ranging from 50 to 10,000 tons-per-day (TPD) capacity, delivered through Design-Build-Operate-Transfer (D-B-O-T) and Design-Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (D-B-O-O-T) structures. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; payment terms reportedly require 30% advance by T/T (telegraphic transfer) and the balance by Letter of Credit at sight. Revenue streams include one-time plant sales/licenses, recurring licensing royalties (e.g., the July 2019 agreement with Moses Kahn/Diana Glen covering NY, NJ, PA, FL, and Israel), ongoing operational revenue from FGF product sales (diesel, aviation fuel, LPG, biogas, fertilizer, electricity), scrap material sales, landfill management fees, and environmental consulting. As of the source materials, WTL has not raised institutional venture or private equity funding, operates with 101-250 employees, and has a subsidiary, Waste Technologies Bangladesh Limited (WTBDL), supporting Bangladesh operations.
