Investing in cleaner, smarter waste solutions

PEFCO (Process Engineered Fuel Company) is dedicated to transforming the way New Zealand and beyond manage municipal solid waste. Using proven WastAway technology from Tennessee, USA, we process non-recyclable waste into high-density engineered fuel pellets. A direct, low-carbon substitute for coal and other fossil fuels.

Each PEFCO plant is designed to divert up to 85% of municipal waste from landfill, producing up to 140,000 tonnes of fuel pellets annually. This not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions and landfill dependency but also delivers a sustainable, secure, and scalable energy source for heavy industry, steel mills, cement kilns, power stations and food manufacturing factories.

PEFCO, a Pacific Waste Holdings company, is enabling a more sustainable circular economy by transforming waste streams into clean, engineered fuel.
