WHY RUBICON

Benefits of employing TAS

Our TAS team works collaboratively with partners and their internal teams—from sustainability to operations to logistics—to develop and vet all plans, ensuring successful implementations for all stakeholders.

Those that understand the complexities of the waste industry and the nuances of material streams know there is rarely an “out of the box” approach to circular solutions. We pride ourselves on blending creativity and practicality in our deliverables.

We don’t work in hypotheticals. We start our work in the field, whether that is your store, your office, or your restaurant kitchen. The first-hand experience of our team ensures all plans fit the precise needs of your business and sustainability goals.

Rubicon is uniquely positioned with technology solutions, vendor partners, and customers along the waste supply chain and across the country. Our strong network empowers our TAS partners to uncover scalable circular economy solutions that might not otherwise be available.

Our TAS team works closely with Rubicon’s technology, commodities, hauler vendor, and commercial teams. Whether you work with us already or if TAS is our first engagement, we are able to draw upon cross-disciplinary knowledge and tried-and-true solutions to uncover efficiencies and cost-savings for your business.

Achieving your company’s waste diversion and sustainability goals requires data. You need to know the contents of your waste streams to properly develop programs and strategies to achieve your goals. We work with our customers to uncover actionable insights to inform all plans and programs.
