Solid-waste management,
biogas, and demineralized water production,
and soon, energy production
A Ciclus Rio trabalha com expertise na gestão integrada dos resíduos sólidos urbanos e com tecnologias para gerar, a partir de tratamentos inovadores, ativos econômicos.
Com a infraestrutura da Ciclus, o gás metano e o chorume, ambos altamente poluentes, são transformados, respectivamente, em biogás e água desmineralizada. Desde o começo da operação, em 2012, o projeto já entregou mais de 2,5 milhões de créditos de carbono ao Banco Mundial e à Caixa Econômica Federal.
A empresa se prepara, agora, para dar um grande passo: a produção de energia oriunda dos resíduos sólidos, com a construção de uma Unidade de Recuperação Energética (URE).
Os projetos da Ciclus Rio contribuem com quatro dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da ONU:

Waste Treatment Center (CTR)
Through a concession from Comlurb, the CTR receives approximately 10,000 tons of solid waste daily from Rio de Janeiro and from the municipalities of Seropédica, Itaguaí, Mangaratiba, São João de Meriti, Piraí, and Miguel Pereira.
The Plant is in a 3-million square-meter plot and has a modern bioenergetic landfill with strict environmental standards to treat everything properly and safely.

Waste Transfer
Stations (ETRs)
The ETRs are part of a logistical operation for receiving and transferring waste. In the units, the waste is transferred to vehicles with higher transport capacity, which improves traffic on public roads and reduces the emission of pollutants
Waste-To-Energy
Plant (URE)
With a prior construction permit, the Caju URE may be the first WtE (waste-to-energy) plant in the country.
The URE will thermally treat 1.3 thousand tons of waste per day, generating enough electricity to supply 200,000 residents. The technique is applied extensively in Europe and integrates enough social and environmental benefits to become a milestone for the sector in Brazil.
