Inashco stands for incinerator ash company. Incinerator ash (bottom ash) is the residue that results from municipal solid waste incineration at Waste to Energy plants. Inashco has taken a leading role in providing a solution for the further upgrading of bottom ash by decreasing metal contaminations to minimal levels. While producing mineral products with attractive characteristics for the building and construction industry, the extracted metals are efficiently upgraded into valuable metal products. These metals would normally end up with the bottom ash in landfills or as low grade filling material in construction projects, forming an environmental hazard with regards to groundwater and air pollution. Inashco brings substantial ecological and economical advantages to the industry. Together with our parent company Fondel we have access to the global metals market. Due to the market knowledge and effective recovery of metals we can offer the best market conditions for our customers.
