Welcome to KWSG

Kearns Waste Sciences Group Inc. (KWSG) is a privately held waste management corporation. We design and build the Kearns Disintegration Units to disintegrate Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in an auto-thermic (non-externally fuelled) combustion process.

Located on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, Kearns Waste Sciences Group (KWSG) has developed a new, state of the art, waste management system. Exceeding its anticipated performance, the technology is now moving to commercialization.

The KDS architecture is extremely innovative and represents a significant advancement of the incineration technology. Its radically new design approach eliminates those deficiencies and the public's negative perception associated with incinerators of today.

The KDS technology has already been tested for throughput on a 20 tons per day prototype and for emissions on a 5 tons per day prototype. The latter test was conducted in North Sydney, Nova Scotia, by an independent laboratory, AMEC Earth and Environmental, from May 30 through June 1, 2000.

ISO Certification is in process for the new innovative patented technology.

1	Each day the United States throws away enough trash to fill 63,000 garbage trucks.
2	The countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea dump up to 50 million tons of untreated or partially treated waste and sewage into coastal waters every year.
3	Americans make nearly 400 billion photocopies a year - that's about 750,000 copies every minute of every day.
4	Americans receive almost 4 million tons of junk mail every year. Most of it winds up in landfills.
5	In the U.S., an additional 5 million tons of waste is generated during the holidays. Four million tons of this is wrapping paper and shopping bags.
6	Americans throw out about 270 million tires every year. Sixty-five billion aluminum soda cans are used each year.
7	U.S. landfills are closing at the rate of 1 per day.
8	Even more alarming is the fact that over 108,234 tons of waste is incinerated daily, dispite of its harmful effect to the environment.
9	In the UK 81% of waste currently goes to landfill and is buried in holes in the ground. Only 11% is recycled and 8% is incinerated.
10	In one day, Britain produces enough waste to fill Trafalgar Square to the top of Nelson's Column, more than 400 million tonnes in a year.
