Material Stream Characterization

The U.S. waste stream is incredibly diverse.  It varies over time.  It varies depending on the generator.  The value of the nation's waste stream has been estimated in the billions of dollars, and its uses include supplying recyclables to a variety of end markets, energy for homes and businesses, and composts and soils for a variety of uses.  Yet, extracting this value is no easy task.  Numerous clients - from the smallest generator to the largest states - stand to improve their ability to extract this value by understanding what is in their waste stream.
