It tackles redirecting over 120,000 tons of organic waste from landfills yearly and mitigates emissions equivalent to over 69,000 acres of forest. The facility produces around 340,000 MMBtu of renewable gas to power over 7500 homes and generates 16,575 tons of soil amendment for agriculture.
"Integration and Impact are the watchwords of the 2024 SEAL Sustainability Awards. This year, we've seen an impressive synthesis of technology, design, and innovation combined to drive sustainable impact," commented Matt Harney, Chairperson and Founder of SEAL Awards.
