Organics Programs and Commercial Food Waste Recycling

Organics, including food waste, consistently make up about 36% of divertible material discarded in a building’s trash stream. This is the biggest missed opportunity facing businesses.

By addressing or improving organics diversion, businesses can make a big impact on their waste reduction goals, control rising waste costs, and prepare to meet organic waste regulatory mandates.
