Unwaste food waste with Brightmark

Brightmark is looking to grow its portfolio of circularity centers by developing, building, owning, and operating organics projects.

A large pile of food waste

Over 54 million tons of food is wasted annually in the U.S.* Food waste globally accounts for approximately 8% of greenhouse gas emissions.** We want to change that.

Turning organic waste into new products

Brightmark’s Circularity Centers capture greenhouse gas emissions through anaerobic digestion and convert them into new, useable products. Our projects create value from waste by generating renewable products, reducing CO2 equivalencies, and diverting waste from landfills and waterways.

Purposeful partnerships

We are seeking companies and individuals to join us on our journey to Reimagine Waste. These include:

– Haulers
– Corporations
– Municipalities
– Materials recovery facilities (MRFs)
– Other generators of organic waste
