the Austrian Embassy in Warsaw, Bioelektra Group will receive the ENERGY GLOBE NATIONAL
AWARD certificate for the best environmental project in Poland.
Energy Globe Awards are often called the „Nobel Prize for Environmental Protection”. The Jury of the current
Energy Globe edition analyzed two thousand projects submitted by companies and organizations, from all
corners of the world. Additionally, among 178 national winners, later this year the Jury will also select global
winners. These prizes will be awarded in 6 categories: Water, Air, Earth, Fire, Youth and (new, launched in 2016)
Sustainable Plastics. Bioelektra Group - as the winner of national award - will represent Poland in the
international Energy Globe stage, for the category, Earth.
The Energy Globe competition aims to raise awareness, about available solutions for environmental problems
and to prove that each of us can make a positive contribution to environmental protection. The Jury’s annual
task is to present successful sustainable projects to a broad audience, especially those, that conserve and
protect our resources or, which employ renewable energy. Awarded projects are presented and promoted by the
Austrian Energy Globe Foundation. They are hoped to educate and inspire, eventually setting new standards for
the world. Merited by the prestige of the competition, Energy Globe Awards gala is widely broadcast by
television and other media across the world.
„Our waste treatment technology helps to protect environment. It serves the Earth, and at the same time is
economically viable. The victories in subsequent international competitions confirm our determination and belief,
that our solutions should be implemented in large scale, in Poland and in the world” – said Jarosław Drozd,
President of the Board at Bioelektra Group.

RotoSTERIL – patented technology designed and owed by Bioelektra Group, which utilizes a method of
mechanical – heat treatment of waste (MHT). This method is based on the extremely effective process, in which
the waste is first sterilized and then automatically sorted into fractions, intended for further utilization. The
technology is emission-free; what’s more, it reduces the emission of greenhouse gases, decreases the carbon
footprint, and almost entirely eliminates the need of waste deposition to landfills. Simultaneously, the
technology enables the highest level of recyclability in the world, already meeting the requirements set by the
European Union for 2030.

Bioelektra Group method embodies the idea of a circular economy - it allows to retrieve all the valuable
secondary raw materials from waste and then to recycle them into useful products. As the only method in the
world it allows the recovery of a clean biodegradable fraction from the waste, ergo to re-use it for the production
of building materials, soil improvers or energy. Thanks to its low operating costs and high efficiency, technology
can be applied worldwide.
Each phase of the process is environmentally friendly and causes no problems to the local community. As the
facility emits no unpleasant odors during the treatment, it can be located closer to the cities and significantly
reduce the transportation and logistics costs. Bioelektra's solution is also friendly for local communities and can
be used for both segregated or unsegregated waste streams, minimizing waste management costs. Operating a
facility, that utilizes Bioelektra’s technology, causes no problems in the neighborhood via pollution and is more
socially acceptable, than any traditional waste treatment facility.
Bioelektra Group - a Polish technological company investing in waste management solutions. Its patented
RotoSTERIL technology of processing municipal waste enables the highest level of waste recovery (over 90%)
and recycling. Bioelektra can recycle the biodegradable waste fraction, that serves as a perfect alternative fuel
or fertilizer. Bioelektra's technology is the only solution worldwide today, that meets the sustainability
requirements of 65% waste recycling set by the European Commission for the year 2030. Additional information
