Converting organic waste
into renewable energy.

How does Brightmark help?

We are tapping into the power of waste as a resource through anaerobic digestion, which converts food waste into renewable natural gas (RNG).

We are harnessing the energy potential of this waste and creating fuel that can be used to replace fossil fuels while also minimizing waste in landfills.

Did you know?

In the United States alone, nearly 40% of food cultivated is wasted—amounting to almost 135 million pounds of waste every year. Negative impacts of food waste include:

Cost Inefficiency
Excessive food waste is costly for stakeholders, costing nearly $165 billion in annual losses.

Methane Emissions
Food waste causes 10% of methane emissions yearly, contributing to global greenhouse gas emissions. Food waste is also the largest municipal waste source, making up 20% of landfills by weight.

Waste from food releases methane, a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon.
