LJP Zero-Landfill Solutions

We are the industry leader when it comes to Product Destruction, WTE, and Zero Landfill Solutions. Our LJP RDF™ product supplies power plants with a cleaner, solid wastebased energy source that replaces the need for fossil fuels – and our LJP ReFuel™ product is an effective, biogenic carbon rich fuel substitute that powers industrial boilers and kilns while completely destroying the waste in the production of cement and other aggregate materials.

LJP ReFuel™ product is a biogenically carbon-rich alternative fuel that powers industrial boilers and kilns, reducing their reliance on fossil fuels like natural gas and coal, while dramatically lowering carbon emissions. LJP ReFuel™ meets the US EPA criteria for designation as a Non-Hazardous Secondary Material [NHSM]* and is exempt from Solid Waste Regulations.

The cement and aggregate production industries contribute up to 7% of the world’s CO2. Using Alternative Fuels [AF] like LJP ReFuel™, made from high BTU pre and post-consumer materials can reduce carbon emissions per ton of production by more than 100%. In addition, its use in cement kilns perfectly aligns with the growing desire for a circular economy solution because there is no residual waste material; everything is destroyed and becomes part of the cement product.

*Non-hazardous secondary materials are any materials that are not the primary product of a manufacturing or commercial process, and can include post-consumer material, postindustrial material, and scrap. Many types of these materials have British Thermal Unit or material value, and can be reclaimed or reused in industrial processes. A wide and diverse range of NHSMs exists and some percentage of the approximately 200,000 boilers or industrial furnaces use these secondary materials as substitutes for primary fuels or as ingredients.

Ideal LJP ReFuelTM Material Candidates Include:

  • Thin Film Wraps and Bags
  • Flexible Plastics
  • Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
  • Release Liner
  • Laminates
  • Waxy Cardboard
  • Automotive Trim
  • Scrap Foams
  • Healthcare Supplies (Bandages, Wraps, Gauzes, Single-Use Technology Plastics)
  • Pre-Consumer Packaging
  • Wood
  • Paper
  • Ag Products
  • Pharmaceuticals

ReFuel™

LJP ReFuel ™ is an alternative fuel derived that meets the US EPA determination criteria for a “Non-Hazardous Secondary Material [NHSM]. As a result, ReFuel™ is exempt from solid waste regulations and can be burned in any industrial boiler designed to burn fossil fuels and biomass.

ReFuel™ is made from high BTU materials such as plastics, paper, and wood made from a wide range of off-spec, unused, or discarded materials from commercial, industrial, and manufacturing operations. It is a finely shredded [2”-] fuel that is easy to convey mechanically or pneumatically.

It offers a compelling value proposition for cement, lime, ethanol, sugar beet, power production, and other energy intensive manufacturers seeking to balance fuel economy with sustainability.

Energy Content

With an energy content of approximately 27.92 GJ per ton, our alternative fuel provides a competitive alternative to natural gas, which delivers 55 GJ per ton, and coal, which averages around 25 GJ per ton. This high energy density ensures that high energy intensive manufacturers can maintain efficient operations without sacrificing performance or increasing fuel costs significantly.

Biogenic Carbon

From a carbon perspective, our alternative fuel excels by contributing 17.90 kg of biogenic carbon per gigajoule.

Unlike fossil fuels, ReFuel™ leverages the carbon-neutral properties of biogenic materials, cycling carbon that is already part of the natural environment and significantly reducing net greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, natural gas, with 10.23 kg of fossil carbon per gigajoule, and coal, with an even higher carbon footprint, both add new carbon to the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change.

The Strategic Choice

For cement, lime, ethanol, sugar beet, power production, and other energy intensive manufacturers committed to reducing their carbon footprint while maintaining cost-effective fuel solutions, LJP ReFuel™ is a compelling strategic choice. It aligns with sustainability goals by minimizing new carbon emissions and supports economic objectives with its competitive fuel value.

By integrating ReFuel™ into sustainable fuel initiatives, manufacturers can achieve a lower carbon intensity, helping to meet regulatory standards and corporate sustainability targets, while ensuring reliable and efficient energy production.
