Harsco launches waste life cycle program, Fullcircle

Harsco Corp., a Camp Hill, Pennsylvania-based provider of environmental solutions for industrial and specialty waste streams, announced April 5 that its Clean Earth division has launched Fullcircle. According to the company, Fullcircle is an advanced waste life cycle program that strategically analyzes waste at each source of generation, then offers solutions for recycling and beneficial reuse alternatives for the material.

From initial product concept to life cycle completion, Harsco says the goal of Fullcircle is to eliminate waste, recycle as much as possible and build scalable and innovative programs for customers focused on zero waste.

With Fullcircle, customers do not choose services from a preset menu to dispose of their waste streams. Rather, Harsco says each solution is tailored to the customer, with Fullcircle helping develop sustainable solutions aligned with their waste generation, sustainability goals and growth plans. The program offers enhanced tracking, reporting and data analysis of waste streams to monitor performance and measure against financial and corporate sustainability goals.

“We have identified a growing need for integrated service providers who provide true partnership management,” David Stanton, senior vice president and group president of Clean Earth, says. “Our ambition is to solve the challenge of making it easy for our customers to properly manage their difficult-to-treat waste with the ultimate sustainable solution. It must be simple, innovative, transparent and trusted. That’s where we come in.”

The capability of Clean Earth’s Fullcircle program explores every stage of waste generation, including upstream waste management at inception, flow change investigation, contamination reduction and final placement

“By looking at the full life cycle, we ultimately eliminate the waste at every source,” Stanton says. “At a time when companies and consumers are prioritizing sustainability efforts, our program is about making life easier for the customer by providing a plan that works for the organization’s waste now and in the future, as well as for our environment.”
