VLS Environmental Solutions has unveiled plans for an alternative engineered fuel (AEF) waste processing facility in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.
The plant will support Zero Landfill initiatives for manufacturing by converting hard to recycle industrial byproducts into carefully engineered AEF products – a cleaner, more sustainable fuel source designed to reduce landfill reliance and replace carbon and natural gas fuels used by cement kilns and gasifiers. The company’s Zero Landfill programmes have already been responsible for diverting over 1Mta of industrial waste.
VLS President, Keith Cordesman, highlighted the significance of this expansion. “This greenfield facility is about fostering partnerships for sustainable solutions. Establishing our presence in New Braunfels puts us in a strong position to deepen our relationships with local manufacturers, particularly cement kilns, and sets the benchmark for sustainability in the region.”
This greenfield project advances the company’s strategic expansion goals, strengthening its role as a leader in sustainable waste management and increasing its capacity to manage the increasing need for sustainable waste processing solutions from industrial partners.
Strategically situated between Austin and San Antonio, the new facility is set to begin operations by mid-2026.
