Earthworks sees opportunities in waste. Changes in recycling markets and the plummeting scrap value of recyclables have significantly changed the waste industry. Materials once destined for overseas processing are now being landfilled. This change has increased disposal demand and decreased the operational life of existing landfill sites. Earthworks, through its U.S. subsidiary, Cortina Integrated Waste Management Inc. (CIWM) will look to capitalize on this growing market with its integrated waste handling project in California.
