Food Waste

Turn serves 13 zip codes across Dallas and has diverted 17.4 tons of waste from landfill.

The agreement is part of the company's initiative to partner with traditional waste industry companies to distribute its food waste disposal technology.

The plant will process 1,000 tons per day of food waste and biosolids that will be shipped to Rialto from outlying areas. Final products will include electricity and pipeline-injected RNG.

Currently, the system can process 165 tons per day of source separated food waste and should be able to digest 300 to 550 tons per day by 2020.

If passed, House Bill 1204 in Washington state would require plastic packaging producers to participate in a stewardship organization by 2022 or quit using plastic packaging.

Critics say state regulators have failed to enforce food waste restrictions, “leading to widespread lack of compliance,” The Boston Globe reports.

The company announced its food waste reduction strategy is aimed at feeding people, not landfills.
