Resource Recovery
Resource recovery is the reclaiming of "garbage" for the same or for an alternate use. It includes collecting, sorting, and processing materials that are traditionally viewed as waste and transforming them into the raw inputs used to create new products. Recycling and composting are among the best known resource recovery practices.
It's Our Expertise
Resource recovery is the practice of reclaiming materials that were previously thought of as unusable. It is not managing waste, which is the standard for most garbage companies.
Traditional waste companies collect and move wasted materials to large-scale, single-use sites such as landfills or incinerators. Unlike the management of waste, resource recovery recognizes that there is still value in those materials. Recology facilitates extracting the remaining value of these materials through our innovative programs, facilities and technologies.
The intention of resource recovery is always to make the best and highest use of all materials, and landfilling only those materials for which there is currently no use. Over time, we expect the volume of landfill-bound material to shrink to a negligible amount as a result of our creative resource recovery efforts. Recology is actively pursuing that goal.
Resource recovery is an important aspect of environment sustainability. Resources such as food scraps, yard trimmings, discarded paper, plastic, and fabrics are removed from the category of unusable materials, and facilitate their reuse while also preserving virgin materials. These are just a few examples of reusable materials that benefit the agricultural and manufacturing industries throughout the world.
