Carbon Emissions Reduction

The U.S. EPA has deemed landfills the 3rd largest Methane emitters in America and the EPA considers Methane 23 times more dangerous than CO2.


Landfills are porous structures until the individual cells are caped (which only happens every 2 – 3 years) and it is estimated that 85% of the Methane escapes before the cells are capped.


Look at the Methane bubbling out of a landfill in Vietnam 8-hours after MSW had been deposited – This doesn’t show the 35’ wide river of leachate flowing out of it into the Delta:

GHG Emission Reductions with EcoHub

  • EcoHub’s Closed Loop Eco-Manufacturing Process will REDUCE carbon emissions by 4 Metric Tons for EVERY 1 Ton of MSW processed
  • This is primarily accomplished by EcoHub’s “Circular Economy” process – Life Cycle Analysis and associated energy savings
  • There are approximately 460 Million tons per year of MSW generated in the U.S. - If ALL of it was processed through EcoHub, the U.S. would REDUCE its CO2 equivalent emissions by 1,880 Million Metric Tons per year or 28%
  • According to the U.S. EPA, total GHG emissions in 2018 = 6,677 Million Metric Tons of CO2 equivalent

Waste Recycling FAQs

  • Can you tell me more about EcoHub?

    EcoHub is the only sustainable product manufacturer that provides economic development, environmental sustainability, and lower costs to cities, companies, and communities.


    Unlike the world’s current approach to garbage handling, EcoHub views 100% of the waste stream as a resource. That is why we collect every piece of trash in one single bin – no longer do you have to separate plastics or cardboard from food waste, we can do all of that for you. Our sustainable product manufacturing process repurposes nearly 100% of the waste stream into value-added products. By placing the focus on putting every piece of garbage to its highest and best use, EcoHub delivers benefits to both the economy and the environment. This is the beginning of a movement – an Environmental Revolution that changes the way the world consumes and reuses resources. Our goal is to create a waste free world.

  • What is EcoHub's Closed Loop System?

    EcoHub’s closed-loop system provides ultimate sustainability™ and the most environmentally healthy collection path ever conceived.


    It’s all made possible by EcoHub’s model of circular integration™, which takes in 100% of the waste stream as a resource and manufactures it into new sustainable products that can be resold back into the local community. This entire process occurs in one location, providing the greatest environmental benefit, while creating new opportunity for local communities.

  • What are the benefits of EcoHub?

    EcoHub will Reduce Landfilling and/or Recycling Costs by 50% to 75% or more. EcoHub fully monetizes the discarded materials stream through an onsite closed-loop backend manufacturing and conversion technology suite, delivering to existing waste recycling companies and government agencies additional new free cash flow per ton processed.


    EcoHub is Reliable. At the heart of the EcoHub is the MaxDiverter™; the first true automated mixed waste separation system. EcoHub’s MaxDiverter is guaranteed and bonded to mechanically separate and recover all elements of the waste stream at 95%+ performance efficiency to 95%+ purity with 97% operational reliability. Value-added manufacturing processes, which are co-located with the MaxDiverter on our eco-industrial campuses, utilize proven, well-established manufacturing and conversion technologies and NASA-originated technologies repurposed for civilian application.


    Environmental Solution. Each 2,000 ton/day EcoHub will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 2.5 million tons of CO2e. Coupled with emissions reductions from processing recovered vs. virgin materials, these reductions are equivalent of taking up to 800K cars off the road. Eliminating extra collection routes and minimizing the transport of recycled products further reduces emissions and energy use, as well as reduces wear and tear on residential streets.


    Experienced Team. EcoHub’s principals have almost 280 years combined experience in solid waste management, manufacturing, conversion technologies, advanced technology development and deployment, and environmental market transformation. They possess excellent contacts throughout the industry, as well as with municipal and national governments across the world.
