Formerly known as Heritage Interactive Services and launched by The Heritage Group in 2001, Envita has grown into an industry leader in environmental services and total waste management.
Sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a necessity. With over 2 billion tons of waste generated globally each year, businesses play a crucial role in reducing environmental impact. In the U.S. alone, that number reaches 292 million tons annually—with more than 50% of it ending up in landfills. But what if waste wasn’t wasted? What if plastic, metal and cardboard didn’t just get tossed aside but got a second life instead?
That’s exactly what Envita Solutions is making possible. Envita Solutions is leading the charge, transforming waste into valuable resources through innovative recycling, material recovery and reuse programs. For over two decades, they’ve helped businesses streamline operations, cut costs, meet sustainability goals and gain better insight into their waste streams—turning challenges into opportunities for a greener future. Partnering with companies across North America, Envita has helped over 250 facilities achieve Zero-Waste-to-Landfill status, proving that sustainability isn’t simply good for the planet—it’s good for business. The impact? A better planet for generations to come.
A Year of Big Wins for Businesses and the Planet
Last year, Envita Solutions helped divert 885,652 tons of waste from landfills—giving discarded materials a new purpose. Here’s what that looks like:
- 136,000 tons of metal recycled—That’s the same as 9 billion soda cans, enough for every person on Earth to crack open a cold one.
- Plastic recycling volumes that equated to 2.5 billion plastic bottles—Laid end to end, they would stretch from Earth to the moon… and back again!
- Cardboard recycling efforts comparable to saving 1.8 million trees —That’s the equivalent of preserving 100 Central Parks’ worth of trees.
- 16 customer facilities achieved Zero-Waste-to-Landfill status, bringing the total to 256 facilities since 2011
These aren’t just numbers. They represent businesses making sustainability a core part of their operations with the help of environmental gurus from Envita. Instead of being discouraged by complex waste challenges, they are inspired to create sustainable solutions.
