By efficiently reducing greenhouse gases resulting from organic waste, Sustainable
Generation's composting solutions, using GORE® Cover technology, have a long track
record of success in California.
Strong environmental awareness and aggressive climate goals, linked to landfill
diversion targets, provide optimal conditions for the technology-which meet or
exceed the state's environmental regulatory requirements.
While the Clean Air Act - established in 1970 and amended several times since then -
is a United States federal law, California has taken control of the state's environmental
future by addressing its unique air pollution problems through regulation.
California is divided into 35 Air Districts. Each District faces its own unique challenges,
ranging from traffic-related smog in Los Angeles to greenhouse gases in the San
Joaquin Valley, caused by nitrogen compounds combined with dust particles from
farming.
The following results, for existing permitted facilities, provide a glimpse into VOC
emission control performance utilizing GORE® Cover technology in the Golden State.
