Paewira
Paewira is a thermal waste conversion plant that’s designed to convert landfill waste into enough energy to power an entire community. It is not just a source of electricity – it is a tool that can reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfills and improve New Zealand’s rising carbon emissions.
