Wood is collaborating with Juno, a Georgia-Pacific company, to deliver its innovative waste recovery solution. This partnership marks a significant advancement in waste management technology, aiming to revolutionize how municipal waste is processed and recycled.

Juno Technology is designed to divert up to 90% of municipal waste from landfills, recovering valuable materials for reuse. Using a proprietary process, Juno Technology sanitizes waste and extracts commodities such as paper fibers, plastics, and metals, turning food waste into reusable biogas. This process not only reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills or incinerators but also contributes to the circular economy by reintroducing recycled materials into the market.

Under a framework agreement, Wood will provide comprehensive engineering services for Juno. This includes Front End Engineering Design (FEED) and detailed Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management (EPCm) for the development of new waste processing sites worldwide. Additionally, Wood will support the ongoing maintenance and operations of these facilities once they are operational.

Giuseppe Zuccaro, President of Process & Chemicals at Wood, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration: "Bringing together Wood’s complex engineering capability with Juno’s innovative technology is an exciting opportunity to support our client deliver a circular economy solution. Creating a more sustainable future is a strategic priority for Wood and this breakthrough project to reduce landfill waste and help circulate reclaimed materials back into the economy for future reuse is a purposeful proposition." Zuccaro's statement underscores the strategic importance of sustainability for Wood and the transformative potential of the Juno project in achieving these goals.

Christer Henriksson, President of Juno, shared his excitement about the partnership: "We are excited to partner with Wood as we scale our Juno Technology and build out our pipeline of projects in North America, Europe, UK, and Australia. Juno Technology can process Municipal Solid Waste and out of what is processed, divert up to 90% away from landfills. This can help cities and communities meet their sustainability goals." Henriksson's comments highlight the global reach and impact of Juno Technology, emphasizing its role in helping communities achieve their sustainability targets.

The FEED for Juno’s first full commercial waste processing facility in the UK is currently underway. This facility will serve as a model for future sites, demonstrating the effectiveness of Juno Technology in large-scale waste processing and recycling. The successful implementation of this facility will pave the way for additional projects in various regions, furthering the goal of reducing landfill waste and promoting the circular economy.

By combining their expertise, Wood and Juno are set to make a significant impact on waste management practices worldwide. Their collaboration represents a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, leveraging advanced technology to address one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
