FECUPRAL, spol. s.r.o.. has been in business for over 25 years, during which time it has been actively involved in waste issues, primarily recycling. We are one of the few companies in Slovakia that has been granted the status of R1 waste recovery, i.e. energy recovery and hazardous waste recovery. The company has been actively involved in waste recycling for many years, and in terms of trends, we are one of the companies that contribute significantly to waste recycling in Slovakia. However, our ambition is to advance material recovery also in the hazardous waste sector, thanks to our long-term experience and acquired "know-how". Our experience and many years of work, innovative technologies and creative team have proven in recent years that waste is a source of significant raw materials. The result is therefore a comprehensive recovery of the material quality of waste while at the same time using and its energy potential, which saves the very energy resources used to produce it.

POPOL AS A PRODUCT is a project that promotes the circular economy. The aim of the award-winning product is to develop advanced recipes for the thermal treatment of a large range of wastes, thus fulfilling the letter of the idea of the circular economy. The most important was the modernisation of a hazardous waste energy recovery plant.
The technology enhancement increases the efficiency of treatment of selected waste types thanks to advanced monitoring and predictive control throughout the recovery process. We have taken waste recovery to the next level, resulting in the comprehensive recovery of selected types of materials contained in the waste while harnessing its energy potential for heat production or other uses. The treatment method saves natural resources and the product produced from the waste becomes a valuable commodity - waste becomes raw material.
