Waste is complex. Meaningful solutions to waste are equally complex.

We approach waste from a realistic & systemic perspective, using elements of resource mapping + market development + strategic trend analysis + material adaption to reorganize systems that reflect the reality of each industry’s situation & need.

We accept only meaningful metrics of success by consistently asking the question:

What does sustainability mean in today’s world?

Zero waste systems for corporate facilities.

We create zero waste systems for large corporate facilities that address recovery, reduction and 3rd party certification. These projects include:

• Goal & incentive creation.

• Information gathering through mapping & waste auditing.

• New system creation.

• Staff training.

• Ongoing metric tracking.

Local processing of material in rural areas.

These projects aim to create local processing options for hard-to-recycle material in rural areas, eliminating the need for material transport and addressing economic development gaps in these communities. These projects include:

• Creating single-substrate irrigation piping from mixed plastics in SW Colorado.

• Identifying product opportunities based on local market needs for processing OCC cardboard in SE Utah.

• Scaling the production of filament from 1&2 plastic in San Juan County.

• Developing local collection, processing & sale for used construction wood in N Wyoming.

Materials management in the built environment.

The built environment encompasses any structure that contains human activity, ranging in scale from multi-family buildings to parks. Our work in sustainable materials management includes:

• Meaningful market development for hard-to-recycle construction material.

• Creating systems for large commercial construction companies that incorporate deconstruction for reuse into their line of client products.

• Identifying & adapting new materials for construction use.
