Rubicon expands presence with new global headquarters
Kentucky-founded waste and recycling software provider deepens roots with new office.
Rubicon, a Lexington, Kentucky-based software platform provider that offers smart waste and recycling solutions to businesses and governments worldwide, announced that the company is opening a new office space in Lexington which will now serve as the firm’s global headquarters.
The location expands the company’s existing footprint in the state and honors its Kentucky roots, the company says. It joins the company’s other executive leadership office in New York City, which has remained in operation throughout the past year as the majority of Rubicon’s workforce transitioned to remote operations, a significant portion of which continues to be based in the Atlanta metro region.
Tennessee introduces consumer protection law for catalytic converters
The law seeks to put the brakes on the rising theft and resale of catalytic converters across the state.
Tennessee lawmakers recently passed a new bill that seeks to reduce the number of catalytic converter thefts in the state. When enacted, Senate Bill No. 1612 will help prevent the sale or resale of catalytic converters, lawmakers say.
According to a news release from the state government, the law takes effect on July 1. The bill prevents the buying and selling of scrap metal, including unattached catalytic converters as a single item and not as part of a scrapped motor vehicle. Any person selling a detached catalytic converter must be a registered dealer. This means they must provide either a state or federally issued photo identification card with an address and a thumbprint, apply, pay the appropriate fee and meet all requirements under the law.
