At DP CleanTech (DP), our goal is to create a cleaner, more sustainable future by transforming waste into renewable energy and advancing innovative solutions for a circular economy. Our mission is ‘Creating Value from Waste’, and as a global provider of waste-to-energy solutions for heat, power and liquid fuels, our core business revolves around making measurable positive contributions to the circular economy, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and delivering sustainable value to our partners, employees, and society.
