About Us

em[POWER] seeks to revitalize landfill communities throughout the world using a modular and scalable cooperative development model based on renewable resources.

By coordinating and streamlining the waste sorting process of landfill scavengers, the em[POWER] model will improve the sorting efficiency of recyclables, turn organic waste into electricity and high quality compost, and provide the nucleus for a host of community-owned businesses. This will in turn provide community access to electricity, enhance educational opportunities, improve local health, and raise worker wages, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste overflow.

By having a series of autonomous co-op units around the world, em[POWER], as an umbrella organization can help them access markets which require scale for entry.

Our overarching vision is to convert a form of poverty into a mechanism that can be used by a community to improve their living conditions and allow them to make a positive contribution to society.
