Leveraging Sustainability and Resource Recovery
We are increasingly focused on sustainability and resource recovery as essential components of Earthwise’s operations, recognizing the need to mitigate environmental impacts and tap into the potential of reusing, recycling, and recovering valuable resources. Initiatives either currently being implemented or under serious review at this time include:
By using automated sorting systems and artificial intelligence, we can better separate recyclable materials from waste streams, ensuring higher purity levels and more efficient recycling processes.
This process breaks down organic waste in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas, which can be used for heating, electricity generation, or even as a vehicle fuel. The remaining digestate can be used as a fertilizer, closing the loop on organic waste.
Instead of sending waste to landfills, it can be used as a fuel in specialized plants to produce electricity or heat. This not only reduces the volume of waste but also taps into its energy potential.
Partnering with manufacturers to turn recovered materials into new, higher-value products. For instance, using plastics recovered from waste to create furniture or building materials.
Old landfills can be mined to recover materials and energy. This process can reclaim land, reduce the environmental impact of old waste, and recover valuable metals or other materials that were previously discarded.
Collaborating with other businesses to establish a circular economy, where products are designed for disassembly and reuse from the outset.
Supporting or initiating EPR programs where producers are responsible for the end-of-life management of their products, which encourages design for recyclability and reduces waste.
Conducting community outreach and educational programs to promote recycling, composting, and waste reduction at the source, leading to higher participation rates and cleaner waste streams.
Investing in research and development to find new methods of recycling or reusing materials that are currently considered non-recyclable.
Collaborating with product designers to encourage the creation of products that have a longer lifespan, are repairable, and are made from materials that can easily be recycled or composted.
"Sustainability is all about attitude. We must hold ourselves accountable to each other, our families, our customers, and especially our communities, ensuring we always do the right thing. We must unite and maintain a relentless focus on the best ways to preserve our resources for our children, our grandchildren, and all future generations. We will preserve the planet in the same way we construct a building: brick by brick, day by day, opportunity by opportunity."
