Compology, the leading company devoted to sustainability through waste metering, today announced their Clean and Green grants initiative. The grants will be offered to 25 municipalities of any size throughout the United States and provide cities with Compology’s technology enabling them to take control of their landfill waste, improve recycling rates, lower carbon emissions, and save money.
As a result of outdated infrastructure, much of the country’s waste ends up in landfills, which are responsible for 15% of the United States’s total methane emissions. While many European countries recycle more than half of their total waste, the US recycles less than a third.
