We are changing the way people think of trash.
Traditional waste management processes play a major role in climate change. We reinvent them to be better for the environment – and your bottom line.
What’s wrong with waste management?
Hauling
Hauling waste creates traffic, generates harmful emissions, and can lead to liquid spills that pollute our water supply.
Once waste leaves your facility, the ability to recover value from the waste is lost, and it’s now on its way to polluting the environment as it decays in a landfill.
Incineration
Generates emissions dangerous to both humans and the environment
Energy recovery is inefficient
Ash requires specialized handling and disposal
2-5x more expensive than landfilling
Landfilling
Generates methane, 25x more damaging to our environment than CO₂
Leachate is a constant threat to the quality of our groundwater
Capacity is shrinking and costs are rising, and waste must be shipped further from the point of generation
Waste generation hurts the environment and the bottom line.
290,000,000 tons of waste are generated in the US each year
50% of US waste originates from the commercial sector
110,000,000+ tons of CO₂ equivalent emissions generated in the US each year from traditional waste disposal operations
That’s 750 lbs. CO₂ for each ton of waste landfilled.
Making things creates waste.
Putting that waste to work is true sustainability.
Our patented Pur-Gen™ technology converts waste into energy onsite, making it immediately available for use at your facility. The technology has been developed to replace open burn pits for the Army, and is now ready to support the commercial sector in managing their waste challenges.
