RE:CIRCLE Ontario Diverts 27,000 Tons of Food Waste from Landfills in Landmark Sustainability Effort

RE:CIRCLE Ontario, a division of RE:CIRCLE Solutions, has made a significant stride in environmental sustainability by diverting nearly 27,000 metric tons of food waste from landfills in California, as detailed in its inaugural sustainability report for 2024. This achievement not only underscores the company's commitment to reducing landfill dependency but also aligns with California's stringent environmental targets and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's goal to halve food loss and waste by 2030.

The report reveals that RE:CIRCLE Ontario's operations have repurposed organic waste into valuable products such as animal feed, biofuel, and other sustainable outputs, contributing to a circular economy. Moreover, the company's efforts have resulted in a greenhouse gas avoidance of 13,861 metric tons of CO₂e, nearly eight times the emissions it generated. This remarkable feat was achieved through a combination of direct and indirect emission reductions across its operations, including the use of a dedicated manufacturing site and a fleet of 10 owned trucks and trailers designed for low-carbon energy consumption.

Clemens Stockreiter, Founder of RE:CIRCLE Solutions, expressed pride in the company's progress, emphasizing the importance of innovative waste management strategies in achieving sustainability goals. The company's advanced traceability and compliance systems, powered by its proprietary TraceOS platform and an in-house lab staffed with nutrition experts, ensure the quality and transparency of its operations.

With a growing network of over 100 customers and collaborations with more than 10 commodity recycling partners across Southern California, RE:CIRCLE Ontario is setting a benchmark for the industry. The company's sustainability report is a testament to the potential of organic waste repurposing in addressing environmental challenges and fostering a healthier planet.
