At the heart of this effort stands Israel’s **first flagship technology park of its kind** – a facility designed to meet the **most stringent regulatory requirements and European environmental standards**, and to address one of the country’s most pressing national challenges: municipal waste. The park will process **100% of the municipal waste it receives**, reducing landfill dependency from **80% to just 40%**, while significantly increasing recycling rates. By turning waste from a burden into a resource, Smart Waste converts municipal waste into **clean energy** -including **green electricity and biogas** – reshaping the future of recycling and waste management in Israel. We are committed to delivering measurable impact: - **Reducing landfill dependency across Israel** and creating a positive, long-term contribution to national sustainability. - **Lowering the cost and complexity of dry and wet waste separation**, while improving overall recycling efficiency. - **Advancing local treatment solutions for all types of municipal waste**, significantly reducing transportation costs, noise, and environmental impacts. - **Meeting - and exceeding - the world’s most stringent regulatory and environmental standards**, setting a new benchmark for environmental leadership. - **Serving as a center of technological and research excellence**, leveraging advanced, smart technologies for waste treatment and recovery. - **Improving environmental quality nationwide**, enabling municipalities and local authorities to become greener, smarter, and more innovative. ### Watch the Smart Waste presentation: Groundbreaking green technology for municipal waste management and treatment ### Clean Air.
