Simplified Environmental Solutions adds 2 locations

Simplified Environmental Solutions (SES), a St. Louis-based company that designs zero-waste-to-landfill management programs for manufacturers to help them meet their sustainability goals, has opened two new full-service locations in Salt Lake City and in Kansas City, Missouri, designed to help support growing demand for its services.

SES builds custom programs that examine each customer’s waste to find a useful second life for each component of that material, either through traditional recycling or other commercially viable uses.

Both new locations provide SES’ full range of services, including nonhazardous secondary material processing, recycling, controlled disposal of finished goods, food waste reuse and compost and on-site waste and recycling consultation.

“We have achieved a level of zero waste to landfill success that exceeds what other solutions providers in this market can accomplish,” SES co-CEO Chad DeGraffenreid says. “We build custom programs for each partner with a focus on reducing or eliminating the flow of waste to the landfill and also embedding our people within their operation to develop plans to prevent the production of excess waste in their processes.”

Brent Wheeler, co-CEO of SES, says, “This holistic approach helps us serve our partners from the beginning to the end of their manufacturing life cycle while also helping those businesses achieve critical sustainability goals and reduce the amount of waste being buried in a landfill.” 

SES says there is one-size-fits-all solution to waste reduction and that its team of engineers works directly with each facility to understand its unique and individual challenges, adding “We’re equally interested in helping you evolve your manufacturing processes to produce less waste as we are in managing the waste you do produce.”  

The company says it plans future expansions throughout the United States.
