Upcycling
Rethinking waste
Upcycling converts waste into high value clean energy products, diverting from landfills, generating renewable fuels, and minimizing environmental impact to support a circular economy.
Upcycling solutions
Low Carbon Fuels
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that transportation accounts for roughly 23% of global CO2 emissions, highlighting the need for low-carbon fuel solutions. Low-carbon fuels present an alternative energy opportunity made from sustainable sources designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Advanced Carbon
Advanced carbon products are produced by innovative processes and materials designed to capture, store, or utilize carbon more effectively. They reduce overall carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable and low-carbon future.
Renewable Hydrogen
Heartland’s technology converts sustainable methane (biogas, landfill gas) into clean hydrogen and valuable solid carbon, eliminating CO2 emissions and water requirements.

MRF residue
MRFs (Materials Recovery Facilities) typically recover between 5-45% of the incoming materials as recyclables, with the remainder landfilled or otherwise disposed. Heartland’s upcycling process converts this challenging material into valuable fuel while reducing landfill dependency. -
Biosolids
Concerns about contamination, including PFAS, threaten traditional biosolids management practices. Heartland’s upcycling service transforms wastewater byproducts into valuable feedstock for energy production, addressing waste challenges including PFAS contamination. -
Food waste
Convert organic waste into clean hydrogen or other valuable products, transforming discarded food into a renewable resource that contributes to a circular economy and reduces environmental impact.
