Transforming
Tomorrow, Today
Building solid waste infrastructure
and systems for
a clean and resilient future
WHAT WE DO
Upland Road resolves solid waste challenges at scale.
Our system-wide approach to reshaping waste-handling infrastructure creates jobs for skilled workers and benefits communities by turning discarded materials – trash – into an economic engine and a source of sustainable growth.
HOW WE DO IT
We address the entire waste stream comprehensively rather than skimming off pieces of it and burying or incinerating the rest. We use proven, leading technologies in new ways to meet the most pressing waste management needs, today.
Sustainable Materials and Advanced Recovery Technology (SMART) Centers™ unlock the full economic and environmental value of the solid waste stream.
Sophisticated waste sorting infrastructure and material re-use innovators located on an integrated campus – the SMART Center™ – transform an environmental burden into a vehicle for stable economic growth and consistent technical advancements.
The environmental benefits are clear: one SMART Center™ saves approximately 1.25 million tons of CO2e and one million tons of methane per year, while keeping more than 650,000 tons of material from landfill.
