Divert, Inc. has processed 2.3 billion pounds of waste food since inception 16 years ago. The Company has developed unique technology to collect and process waste food that would otherwise be consigned to landfills where it would generate greenhouse gases including methane and carbon dioxide.

 The pace of collection and processing has increased sharply with the Company handling one billion pounds over the most recent two years.  Approximately one billion pounds diverted from landfills has mitigated 80,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions representing the annual equivalent contribution to global warming of 18,000 gasoline-powered cars.

Divert collects waste food from 5,400 locations in 50 states and has forged working relationships with Albertsons, Kroger and other major food retailers. The volume of waste handled by Divert, Inc., represents approximately 0.5 percent of all discarded food nationwide suggesting a vast market for Divert and potential competitors.  Given opportunities, Divert intends to expand to 30 processing locations that would place the company within 100 miles of 80 percent of the U. S. population.

Commenting on the volume of one billion lbs. of waste processed since 2021, Suzanne Long, Chief Sustainability and Transformation Officer, stated, “This industry-leading milestone is a testament to the impactful solutions Divert has pioneered to address food waste and the responsibility and opportunity we have as an industry to prioritize sustainability and mitigate our climate impact.”

Divert is currently constructing a diversion and energy generation plant in Turlock, CA.  The Company has also entered into an agreement with Embridge, Inc. in Alberta for a waste-powered facility.

The success of Divert contrasts with Do Good Foods, Inc. that recently filed for bankruptcy.  This company operated a food-waste conversion plant designed to produce animal feed to be consumed in affiliated integrated egg-production and broiler enterprises.
