Reducing carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) with waste-to-energy
By offsetting the need for fossil fuels, diverting waste from landfills and recycling thousands of tons of metals, waste-to-energy remains the EPA-preferred method for end disposal. Our process not only preserves valuable natural resources and ever-filling landfill space, but it also reduces greenhouse gases. Across all of WIN Waste’s waste-to-energy facilities, processing one ton of waste avoids up to two tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) into the atmosphere.
