The document discusses moving from a Waste 1.0 model where waste haulers control resources and send materials to landfill, to a Waste 3.0 model where waste infrastructure is vertically integrated to create value from waste materials. The Waste 3.0 model improves recycling rates, reduces costs and environmental footprint by converting food waste into renewable biogas energy and nutrient-rich fertilizer through an efficient and closed-loop recovery system.
