In the United States (US), Denali Water Solutions LLC (Denali), a leading organic recycling company has announced the acquisition of SMART Recycling, a Charleston-based company that provides food waste collection and recycling services for customers across South Carolina and North Carolina. This acquisition reinforces Denali’s position as the leading provider of sustainable food recycling solutions across the Carolinas.
With the addition of SMART Recycling, Denali is expanding its capabilities and reach for unconsumable food collection, and organic materials recycling – helping a wide variety of businesses reduce waste, meet sustainability goals, and advance the circular economy.
SMART Recycling has built trusted partnerships with schools and universities, corporate cafeterias, grocers, and restaurants — supporting small and medium-sized businesses, public sector institutions, and major brands committed to sustainable practices. By welcoming SMART Recycling into the Denali network, we’re expanding access to simple, scalable recycling solutions to help more communities across the Carolinas turn food waste into valuable resources, said Mason McNeill, EVP at Denali.
SMART Recycling serves all metro areas in North and South Carolina. The company collects food scraps and delivers them to local composting facilities, diverting valuable organic materials from landfills to create nutrient-rich compost.
This acquisition further builds upon Denali’s ongoing expansion and commitment to providing sustainable food recycling solutions throughout the Southeast.
Earlier this year, Denali also acquired a composting company in North Carolina, creating new opportunities for regional customers to access comprehensive, end-to-end food collection, depackaging, and recycling services.
