The Cutting Edge of Waste Conversion and Recycling
1. “A World Bank study sees global trash avalanche by 2025.
Handling the current 1.43BB tons of trash costs $205BB and it is estimated to grow to 2.42BB tons at $375BB annually”
RE3 has the “greenest” solution to growing MSW problems and expenses
by converting MSW from an expensive burden to a valuable commodity.
RE3 is more than a logistical and cost reduction solution to MSW,
it’s a profit center!

5. RE3 Market Targets
• Waste Management Companies
• Municipalities
• State and Federal Government
• US Military
• Island Cities, States, Nations
• Developing Countries
• Hospital and Medical Facilities
• Industrial and Food Processing Plants
• Universities, Hotels, Theme Parks
Primary Markets - Low Lying Fruit
• Targets with outdated equipment
• Targets in need of cutting costs
• Targets without MSW systems
• Targets in need of RE3 by-products
• Targets using anaerobic digestion
• Targets in need of Carbon Credits
• Targets in need of new revenue sources
6. RE3 Market Trends/Barriers to Entry
Landfills are at capacity and being closed...few new ones coming on line
Waste management systems are aging and costs are rising - NE USA
Recycleables are entering the MSW stream
Burning (gasification) MSW is expensive, environmentally bad and being banned
There are no profitable gasification plants
State and Federal mandates to reduce MSW volumes are in place or pending
Valuable waste is being thrown away
Municipalities must lower expenses and seek affordable waste solutions (find revenue sources too!)
Trash management procedures are in flux
Public is becoming aware landfill based toxins and environmental damage
Existing waste management equipment still being amortized
Big three waste mgt cos. are controlling markets but their long term contracts are expiring
Big three make $$$ from landfills (at capacity), new ones are difficult/expensive to acquire
Big three are begining to seek new options
