Firstly, our liquid recycling programs in Louisville, KY & Ontario, CA. convert beverage wastes (soda, juice, beer, wine, spirits, etc.) into waste-derived fuel-grade ethanol. The ethanol is utilized by major oil companies as a clean air additive in their gasoline blends. Materials that would otherwise be unusable wastes now contribute to the production of 60 million gallons of gasoline without the negative effects of food offsets and increased groundwater contamination. Secondly, our application of high-speed optical sorting, grinding, and separating technologies in order to add value to bottle bill redemption plastics in the Northeast ensures higher quality and higher usage of redeemed plastic, glass, and aluminum containers.
