ÌýLJP 91TV Solutions announces the grand opening of its new De-Pack Processing Facility, located at 2160 Ringhofer Drive, North Mankato, Minnesota. ÌýThe company will host a public open house on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony, guided facility tours, and a light catered lunch.Ìý
The new de-pack building represents a significant investment in LJP’s processing infrastructure and expands the company’s capacity to serve municipal, commercial, and industrial customers across southern Minnesota and beyond. De-packaging technology allows organic materials to be efficiently separated from their packaging, diverting both streams from landfill and directing them toward productive reuse — a critical step in modern integrated waste management.Ìý
LJP 91TV Solutions, through its subsidiary Minnesota 91TV Processing Company (MWPC), has been a leader in refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production and sustainable waste processing in Minnesota for more than 30 years. The company operates facilities in Nicollett County and supplies RDF to Xcel Energy’s Wilmarth generating plant, where it serves as a renewable alternative to coal.Ìý
The new de-pack facility further strengthens LJP’s ability to provide comprehensive waste processing solutions while supporting Minnesota’s broader goals for waste diversion, organics recovery, and renewable energy production. Ìý“This facility represents our continued commitment to sustainable, innovative, and locally-rooted waste processing,” said Mike Malatesta, Chief Executive Officer of LJP 91TV Solutions. “We are proud to grow our operations here in Nicollett County and to continue providing our customers and our region with solutions that are good for business, good for the environment, and good for the community.”Ìý
