According to Interwaste CEO Jason McNeil, the newly inaugurated facility represents a revolutionary approach to handling liquid waste streams, setting a new standard in waste treatment and processing. “Our plant signifies a paradigm shift in environmental stewardship,” McNeil emphasizes, underlining the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
