Goal

It is the goal of the Catawba County Regional EcoComplex and Resource Recovery Facility to develop a system that will recover all useable products and by-products from a group of private and public partners located in a close-knit defined area, the EcoComplex. This group of partners will work together to use each other’s waste products either as a source of energy (electricity, steam, or heat) or as raw material for the production of their own product (pallets, lumber, biofuel, compost, soaps, etc.). These shared relationships bring the old saying of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” into real life. In addition to these shared relationships, the EcoComplex is also focused on making and using renewable energy to improve the economic development of Catawba County.
