Maine's Leader in Sustainable Waste Management
ecomaine is proud to share that our organization is the cover feature article in Waste Advantage Magazine this June. Our work in recycling, food waste diversion, waste-to-energy, commitment to safety and environmental excellence, as well as a significant investment in educational outreach are all covered in the article, available below. Through challenges in recyclables markets and COVID-19, ecomaine has remained steadfast in its dedication to our mission.
As the conversation around sustainability and waste diversion gains momentum, especially surrounding new Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (EPR) policies, one initiative is taking a deep dive into the specifics of waste generation and disposal. The Maine Waste Characterization Study, spearheaded by the Maine DEP and conducted by MSW Consultants, is a pivotal project aimed at better understanding the composition of waste in the state and identifying opportunities for improvement in waste management practices.
