The Massachusetts-based recycler uses anaerobic biodigesters to create renewable natural gas from food waste. Bacteria in the digesters consume the waste, creating methane and CO2 as byproducts. The gas can then be used for energy purposes. Now it's time to recycle food waste, and it's not that hard.

Many climate activists and clean energy enthusiasts warn against the continued use of, and investment in, natural gas infrastructure, insisting it isn’t a substitute for clean energy. However, at this point in the sustainable energy revolution, it would likely be imprudent to develop and build new natural gas infrastructure.
