 Heritage Interactive Services, a subsidiary of Heritage Environmental Services (collectively, Heritage), and ClimeCo announced that they are teaming up to contribute offsets to mitigate the NCAA Division I Men s Basketball Championship carbon footprint.
The Heritage/ClimeCo team reviewed historic emissions factors across the seven various event venues, including electricity, gas, steam, and chilled water, to estimate the total carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) produced during each game and practice. Based on initial projections, required offsets are anticipated to be over 5,500 tonnes of CO2e, comparable to taking 1,188 cars off the road for one year.
Local university IUPUI s Office of Sustainability will collect actual operations data from all tournament venues during practice and game days and conduct a greenhouse gas emission assessment. The data will be used to quantify the greenhouse gas footprint, and this will determine t

Major public companies including Waste Management, Waste Connections, and Republic Services, in addition to private haulers like Recology and some municipally run fleets, have previously tested an array of electric technologies to varying degrees. While EVs may be one tool to help companies improve on climate targets, the industry is in some cases still favoring other options such as compressed natural gas, citing adoption cost and functionality constraints that have plagued previously available electric technologies.
Heritage to build Li-ion battery reuse and recycling facility in SW US
In collaboration with Romeo Power, Inc., a provider of large-scale electrification solutions for complex commercial applications, Heritage Battery Recycling (HBR) will develop a Li-ion battery reuse and recycling facility sited in the southwestern United States.
The Heritage Group and Heritage Environmental Services, Inc. launched a new division, Heritage Battery Recycling (HBR), in late 2020 to address growing market demand for safe, sustainable solutions for lithium-ion batteries near or at end-of-life.
