Casella Waste Systems Inc. (CWST), a regional solid waste, recycling and resource management services company, has been named to USA Today’s “America’s Climate Leaders 2024” list for the second consecutive year.

The list recognizes the top 450 companies across the United States that achieved the greatest reduction in their operational emissions between 2020 and 2022. USA Today says this is a measure of the amount of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gases a company produces relative to its revenue. Casella is among just three in the waste and recycling industry to be recognized, and one of two to have been honored in back-to-back years
Sustainable innovation in material, resource and waste management has been central to our business since its founding,” says John W. Casella, chairman and CEO of Casella. “As the only waste and recycling company among the founding members of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Climate Leaders program, we recognized our ability to improve our own sustainability while also enabling our customers and the communities we serve to operate more sustainably. For every metric ton of greenhouse gas emitted through our operations, we prevent more than 4 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions through our recycling, energy and carbon sequestration services.”
