Sustainability

We’re proud to partner with NuCycle Energy™ to turn waste that was going to landfills into a cleaner alternative fuel source.

Our Impact

Since the beginning of 2022, we’ve diverted 91,320 lbs. (45.66 tons) out of landfills and into coal replacement Enviro-Fuelcubes®.

Our partnership with NuCycle has also reduced our trash pickup costs and eliminated 16 yards of landfill waste per week.

How It Works

NuCycle gaylords are located next to trash bins in our Tampa Distribution Center to recycle pallets, cardboard, shrink wrap, paper, plastic, foam, Styrofoam, labels, bubble wrap and other packaging materials. Signs are listed and our teams are trained on the appropriate materials that can be recycled. NuCycle provides a trailer that is filled and swapped with waste that would otherwise go into a landfill.

About NuCycle

NuCycle Energy is an enterprise dedicated to maximizing the utilization of end-of-life industrial materials to produce an innovative low-carbon-emission fuel source for energy-intensive industries.

In 2011, the United States Environmental Protection Agency “USEPA” designated NuCycle Energy’s product, Enviro-Fuelcubes® (“EFCs”) a “Legitimate” fuel approved for use in Energy Intensive Industrial Processes as an alternative commodity fuel. Nineteen state regulatory offices have also recognized the benefits of NuCycle”s alternative fuel and manufacturing operations providing us a “non-waste” designation, further differentiating us from the more common and less efficient “waste to energy” fuels.
