Advancing Circular Economy Leadership: Embracing High-Safety Vacuum Technology

In an era defined by pressing environmental concerns, one European leader stands out for its unwavering commitment to transforming waste into value across the continent.

Who They Are

This company has become a trusted partner to both industries and public authorities through decades of expertise in delivering ecologically responsible and economically viable waste management solutions. They manage approximately 5 million tonnes of waste annually, converting it into raw materials and renewable energy to supply thousands of households across Europe.

Boasting operations across more than 30 facilities in countries including Belgium, Germany, the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, they are driving the transition to a circular economy where "waste" is seen not as a problem, but as a resource.

Their ongoing projects reflect their innovation-first culture—from the Plastics2Chemicals initiative for depolymerising complex plastic waste, to pioneering energy-from-waste and heat network systems that supply residual energy to homes and industries alike.

Their dedication extends to safely removing harmful substances like PFAS and ensuring hazardous components are kept out of food and material cycles.

The Equipment: Morclean Airtech ATEX Air‑Operated Vacuum Cleaner

To elevate safety and efficiency—even further—they have added one Morclean Airtech ATEX Air‑Operated Vacuum Cleaner to their operations. Designed specifically for hazardous environments, this unit operates entirely on compressed air, eliminating electrical components and minimising ignition risk in explosive zones.

Key Features Include:

• Air‑operated design—no electricity, no sparks.

• ATEX-certified for safe operation in explosive atmospheres.

• Versatile cleaning—handles liquids, sludge, debris, and dust.

• Static-safe—anti-static hoses and multistage filtration to further reduce static-related hazards.

• Built to ISO 9001 standards—ensuring durability and consistent performance.
