SGS Sustainability Solutions

In addition to serving as a full-service, end-to-end waste management solution, SGS Recovery is dedicated to preserving our environment through sustainable processes and landfill avoidance practices.

Planning for Our Planet

Sustainability means many things to a variety of people. To us at SGS Recovery, sustainability means working toward lessening the impact we all have on our environment and preserving our communities for future generations. Careless waste disposal leads to greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, and more landfills that can destroy entire ecosystems. Responsible waste disposal at SGS Recovery means zero landfills, upcycling, and a fossil fuel alternative made with recycled materials that burns hotter and cleaner.

SGS Recovery doesn’t just talk about sustainable waste management solutions, we stand for and build them.
