Bakery & Organics Recycling

Bakeries, food manufacturers, grocery stores, restaurants, and other businesses often generate large volumes of organic waste that require a dedicated waste collection program. Finding the right solution for food and bakery waste is essential. For these businesses, U-Pak’s Bakery & Organics Recycling Program provides businesses with a solution to divert suitable organics from landfills. Moreover, bakery and organics recycling can complement other commercial recycling services by keeping suitable organic materials separate from general waste.

Energy from Waste

Some waste cannot be practically recycled or processed through an organics program. In these situations, for suitable non-recyclable, non-hazardous materials, U-Pak can offer waste-to-energy recovery through Emerald Energy from Waste. Emerald recovers energy from residual waste to generate electricity and steam. However, Energy from Waste is a separate option from recycling and applies only to materials that meet the facility’s requirements.
