Scaling Organics Recycling: Circular Services Adds Advanced Processing Capabilities

With Quantum Organics, Circular Services adds advanced food and green waste processing to its expanding platform of circular economy solutions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Quantum Organics, a pioneer in end-to-end organics management based in Southington, CT, has joined Circular Services, the nation's largest private recycling and circular economy services provider. Quantum brings deep expertise and cutting-edge solutions for recycling food and green waste to Circular Services' national footprint of best-in-class material recovery facilities.

With the longest continuously operating anaerobic digestor in North America and large-scale composting, Circular Services' new operations in the Northeast provide end-to-end organic waste services: product de-packaging and destruction, mobile grinding and chipping, and organics transportation and processing. Complementing its focus on circularity, the business turns organic materials into consumer products, including electricity and bagged compost, mulch and soil.

"We are thrilled to join Circular Services," said Brian Paganini, Vice President & Managing Director at Quantum Organics. "Being part of Circular Services allows us to scale our vision of turning organic waste into a valuable resource while addressing pressing environmental challenges. Together, we're not just managing the materials, we're redefining their potential."

Circular Services operates more than 20 material recovery facilities across the U.S., processing over 1.5 million tons of residential, commercial and industrial material annually. With the addition of Quantum, Circular Services expands its capabilities for processing organics—the largest category of materials in landfills today—bringing the U.S. closer to a sustainable, circular materials management system.

"Organics – including food scraps, yard waste and biological waste – make up 30-50% of landfills and contribute to harmful methane releases," said Circular Services' Chief Strategy Officer, Jessica Long. "Addressing organic waste is a key part of our mission at Circular Services, providing a critical service to commercial, industrial and residential customers. We are excited to have Brian and the entire team at Quantum Organics join Circular Services as we expand our ability to provide organics collection and processing services across the U.S."

Quantum Organics was created through the merger of Quantum Biopower and Supreme Forest Products. The campus in Connecticut has 100,000 tons per year of permitted capacity for food waste and 500,000 yards per year for leaf and yard waste.
