Redefining Waste

Novastus is on a mission

We aim to transform waste across the globe into valuable materials, allowing us to use and create products without harming the planet.

About Us

We were founded on the belief that, with so many advancements in technology, we shouldn’t have to landfill waste anymore.

Over 70% of the 2 billion tons of municipal solid waste produced across the globe ends up in landfills. By 2050, solid waste will exceed 3.8 billion tons a year.

The moisture in our waste makes it challenging to use and causes it to decompose, polluting our soil and our planet. Landfills are the third largest source of human-derived methane emissions, which are 80 times more potent than CO2.

To solve this problem, we collaborated with the world’s leading experts to create NovaDry, our breakthrough system that efficiently removes moisture from any solid waste feedstock and pulverizes it into a high-quality solid fuel that can produce clean power, cement, or sustainable fuels.

Pairing NovaDry systems with state-of-the-art equipment to remove recyclable materials, the Novastus TotalMRF solution diverts up to 90% of waste from landfills, only leaving inert materials that don’t decompose or emit methane.

Cleaner, cheaper, and Faster

using only proven industrial equipment

Our Approach

  • Deploy NovaDry Systems

    We work with industries like pulp & paper mills or material recovery facilities to deploy NovaDry systems into their existing operations to reduce waste disposal costs and produce carbon-negative fuel

  • Deliver NovaFuel

    We partner with power, cement and sustainable fuel companies that are looking for an alternative, high quality carbon-negative fuel to reduce their environmental impact

  • Build Total Material Recovery Facilities

    We partner with municipalities and governments that are focused on getting to zero waste and a circular economy by building, owning and operating TotalMRFs to divert material from landfills or mass-burn facilities
