Maine's Leader in Sustainable Waste Management
The last year was an eventful one for most of us – and ecomaine is no exception! The theme of ecomaine’s 2021 annual report focuses on a year of ‘RE…’ Returning to (somewhat) normal. Reducing, reusing, and recycling, of course. Refreshing. Recommitting. Responding. Reinventing. And much more. We invite you to review 2021 with us.
No matter who you voted for, let’s all ELECT to do the right thing with those campaign signs!

As the conversation around sustainability and waste diversion gains momentum, especially surrounding new Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging (EPR) policies, one initiative is taking a deep dive into the specifics of waste generation and disposal. The Maine Waste Characterization Study, spearheaded by the Maine DEP and conducted by MSW Consultants, is a pivotal project aimed at better understanding the composition of waste in the state and identifying opportunities for improvement in waste management practices.
