The Longview plant will comply with Oregon Metro’s Food Scraps Policy, Organics Management Law, and Washington’s HB 1799 law.

The processing plant will be equipped to acquire waste food from agricultural food producers, local governments, industrial food manufacturers, retail food consumers, food service, restaurants, and institutional and commercial waste generators.

Converting garbage from retailers and other industries into carbon-negative renewable energy, this plant will eliminate damaging methane emissions in landfills by using Divert’s depackaging technology and anaerobic digestion.

The factory is scheduled to open next year and is expected to mitigate up to 23,000 metric tonnes of CO₂ annually.
