From Waste, To Energy, To B Corp Certified

BOULDER, Colo. - Oct. 3, 2016 - PRLog -- Waste to Energy Partners, a Boulder-based clean tech start-up, preserves our environment by converting growing waste streams into valuable, repurposed industrial products such as recycled carbon black, direct power, and liquid fuels. By developing waste-to-value projects that divert solid waste from traditional disposal methods, the company is committed to finding and promoting lasting sustainable solutions for communities, businesses, and future generations. That's why it is no surprise that a company that prides itself on being a force for good is now a Certified B Corporation.


Waste to Energy Partners joins over 1,800 Certified B Corporations from more than 130 industries and across 50 countries with one unifying goal: to redefine success in business so that all companies compete not only to be the best in the world, but "the best for the world." B Corps are mission-based, sustainable-minded companies that incorporate business practices serving the triple bottom line of people, planet, profit.

Unlike traditional corporations, a Certified B Corporation is legally required to consider the full, holistic impact of its decisions not only on shareholders, but also on all stakeholders, such as workers, suppliers, the community and the environment. To become a Certified B Corporation, B Lab, the nonprofit organization that certifies and supports B Corporations, conducted a rigorous evaluation of Waste to Energy Partners and determined the business met the comprehensive performance standards to qualify for certification.

"Waste to Energy Partners is a true game-changer in the business landscape," said B Lab Colorado Director Kim Coupounas. "By creating a successful for-profit business that's helping solve a large-scale challenge facing our civilization, in this case turning previously unusable waste streams into valuable products, this company is truly setting an example for others. It's this kind of revolutionary thinking about how to do well and do good that distinguishes B Corps from other companies. We are thrilled to welcome Waste to Energy Partners into the global B Corp community."

"Becoming a certified B Corp only reinforces our commitment to being a triple-bottom-line business," said Waste to Energy Partners Co-founder and CEO Tony Wibbeler. "By developing our own large-scale projects and in working closely with industries and communities, we look to make a long-term, positive social and environmental impact, along with a great return for our investors."
