Metabarri Plant Opens in Bizkaia to Convert Waste to Renewable Energy
What happened
The Metabarri plant, located at Artigas Ecopark, began operations after its testing phase, which started in June. The facility is designed to transform organic waste into renewable energy and compost. The project represents a €25 million investment, supported by over €17 million in Next Generation EU funds, and can process up to 50,000 tons of organic matter annually.
Why it matters
The plant supports the circular economy vision for Bizkaia by providing a solution for the anticipated growth in separate organic waste collection. This infrastructure demonstrates the practical application of transforming waste into valuable resources and renewable energy.
