What "Performance" means to us

Performance Isn’t Just Efficiency — It’s Environmental Responsibility.

At SG, performance is more than processing capacity. It's about protecting air quality, safeguarding water resources, controlling odors, ensuring regulatory compliance, and producing compost that's clean, safe, and market-ready

Our SG ADVANCED COMPOSTING™ Technology is designed to exceed environmental benchmarks, reduce risk, and optimize operational outcomes.

COMPLIANCE FACTS FOR ALL SG COMPOSTING SYSTEMS:

  • Pathogen Reduction and Hygenization
  • Meets PFRP, VAR, Hygiene, and ABPR EPA 503: Alt 5: Use of PFRP [503.32(a)(7) and (B)(1) of Appendix B]
  • Effective Odor Control for Good Air Quality - Odor reduction 90-95% (Odor emission study)
  • VOC emission: US/Cal: > 95%, thus California Compliant for 80% (acc. to Rule 1133.3, Rule 4565, Rule 4566 & BACT)
  • Greenhouse Gas Control
  • Lowest possible emission rate (CO2 equivalent) compared to all other technologies
  • Dust and Bioaerosol Control  Bacteria retention > 99%, e.g. Aspergillus fumigatus
  • Dust and Particulate Matter (PM) Retention > 99% (Thesis Dr. Kühner: Emission Study ) Water Protection
  • Waterproof GORE® Cover  Protection from groundwater contamination
  • Clear separation of leachate from stormwater

Validated Environmental Performance

Certified. Repeatable. Reliable. Reproducible

SUSTAINABLE GENERATION® is more than a name. It’s a performance standard.
From VOCs and odors to permitting and scalability, SG ADVANCED COMPOSTING™ Technology helps facilities succeed in the field, not just on paper.

Independent Third-Party Validation You Can Trust

SG ADVANCED COMPOSTING™ Technology has been rigorously vetted and certified by top regulatory agencies, universities, and environmental engineers.

Why it matters:

Independent validation protects your project’s credibility, secures easier regulatory permitting, and ensures you meet air and water quality requirements without guesswork.

  • U.S. EPA Pathogen Equivalency Committee:

    GORE® Cover was approved to reduce pathogens (PFRP) further, achieving Class A biosolids compost certification. (EPA Part 503)

  • California Air Quality Regulators:

    Field-tested and validated for >95% VOC and odor reduction, meeting and exceeding SCAQMD Rule 1133.2 and San Joaquin Valley APCD Rule 4565 standards​.

  • Independent Municipal Pilots:

    Performance verified through side-by-side city trials at regulated municipal sites.
