Blue Phoenix Group

The Phoenix is an extraordinary mythical creature. At the end of its life when just ashes remain, something magical happens. New life emerges out of something that seems lifeless. What we consider to be the end suddenly transforms into a new beginning. The Phoenix stands for hope and resurrection, albeit a fictional being. It is the inspiration for our company, as we give ash a new life in the real world. Blue Phoenix Group operates incinerator bottom ash (IBA) processing installations globally and helps the Energy-from-Waste sector with alternative sustainable solutions for ash residues. We process the IBA and extract valuable resources such as manufactured aggregates and metals that can be used as secondary raw materials, contributing to the circularity of the Energy-from-Waste sector.
