In reply to: How Dumpster Diving Can Be A New Business Metric

Didacus Ramos, President and CEO of Green Earth Systems Inc working in waste-to-energy technologies and water issues, located in San Francisco Bay Area

“Interesting  proposition. Actually doing assessments of trash going to landfills led to advanced methods of recycling. Before we did full assessments of what and how much was in a dump truck no one had any idea of what was of value. Now green waste is almost all composted and metal, glass and plastic have been greatly reduced. So, in a way, dumpster diving is already a metric.”
