San Leandro Waste Management (WM) Recovery Plant
OKL delivered two advanced BioDigesters to the WM‑owned Waste Recovery Plant in San Leandro, CA, as part of WM’s long‑term sustainability commitments to the City of Oakland. The project represents one of the most ambitious municipal waste‑processing initiatives undertaken in the United States.
The shipment was managed by OKL, with twelve oversized sections (each 40 ft x 14 ft and up to 40 tons) transported more than 400 miles by road from the Port of Long Beach — re‑designated as a bulk‑cargo port instead of the originally specified container‑only Port of Oakland.
This complex movement of heavy equipment was a critical logistical achievement and demonstrated OKL’s capability to execute large‑scale international deployments.
Industry Endorsement
At the signing of the OKL/CITIC agreements, Bulk Handling Systems (BHS) CEO Steve Miller stated:
“This will be the largest and most sophisticated MSW processing system in the US. All commercial waste from a large and important City in a large and important State. All with the largest waste hauler in the world as the principal Customer. And, all built by BHS and its operating companies, Zero Waste Energy, NRT, and Nihot. Lots of reasons to be excited.”
This written statement from BHS — WM’s prime subcontractor — underscores the scale, importance, and visibility of the San Leandro project.
CITIC Perspective
CITIC Vice President Mr. Wu commented:
“We see tremendous promise in this partnership with OKL. Deploying OKL’s BioMass Recovery Technology at this scale demonstrates its global relevance.”
This endorsement reflects CITIC’s recognition of OKL’s technology as a viable, internationally scalable solution for modern waste‑to‑energy and circular‑economy systems.
OKL Statement
Reflecting on the successful delivery, OKL CEO Pearse O’Kane noted:
“We are extremely honoured to contribute to this ground‑breaking WM initiative. As Mr. Miller claimed throughout our protracted negotiations, this would be the ultimate showcase for the OKL BioDigester relaunch, and the optimum springboard for the OKL/CITIC strategic global collaboration.”
