Cortina Integrated Waste Management (CIWM) Project

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.

Why the CIWM Project

Working with Federal, Tribal, State and County agencies, the CIWM Project will be the culmination of more than a decade of regulatory, legal and environmental work that will set a new precedent and will serve as a model facility for future sites. Cortina offers the opportunity to invest in a company that can be operational in a timely manner and that has an experienced management team. In addition to having a federally approved lease, Cortina has an ideal geographic location in the Sacramento Valley. Cortina is approx. 60 miles from Sacramento and approx. 100 miles from San Francisco. With the site potentially 18-24 months from being operational, CIWM offers a unique opportunity for investors to meet the growing demand for waste disposal capacity.

Landfill Process

Using the latest technology, the Cortina site will be able to capture methane emissions and transform them into a source of energy. This energy can be redistributed to on-site operations and will be sold to the external grid.
