Dive Insight:

With food waste recycling gaining traction, many states and cities are considering passing laws banning organic waste, with Massachusetts being the first state to make the move toward a commercial ban. This has caused a growing number of companies and communities to introduce solutions to combat food waste disposal.

Rubicon is no exception to this trend. According to Rubicon Global's President Perry Moss, "The combination of an advanced analytical tool and an efficient and effective organic waste disposal technology creates the perfect solution for our clients. Our goal is to first eliminate the generation of waste and then process whatever residual is left in a more environmentally sound, cost effective fashion."
