Industrial Recycling and Reuse Built to Last

Sustainable³ - Economical. Operational. Environmental.

What Makes Waste Optima Different?

At Waste Optima, we know your industrial recycling program isn't just about checking a box on your sustainability report. It’s about creating waste diversion solutions that are sustainable in more ways than one. We know they have to be economically viable, operationally simple, and environmentally responsible. It’s what we call Sustainable³.

We help manufacturers, warehouses, and distribution centers reduce landfill costs and implement practical recycling and reuse programs that actually stick. We thrive on providing creative and novel recycling solutions for whatever streams you have.

The Sustainable³ Framework

  1. Economical – Competitive with or cheaper than landfill

  2. Operational – Simple to implement, no disruption

  3. Environmental – Reduces landfill use and resource demand

Truly sustainable recycling programs need to work on all fronts. There is no one size fits all solution. We design each recycling program to align with your cost goals, operational capabilities, and sustainability targets—so it lasts through market cycles.
