RTS is disrupting a stagnant industry by bringing businesses and communities visibility into their climate impact with access to real-time data.

RTS offers full automation of waste services for companies and municipalities. Clients can book pickups on demand, track their service with real-time notifications and receive verification that their materials were recycled appropriately.

The value of the platform has been realized by clients such as the Barclays Center, the Washington Football Team and Goldman Sachs.

With food waste rising as the leading contributor to harmful CO2 emissions released from landfills, RTS recently entered the circular manufacturing industry through the acquisition of Ambrosia - a food waste recycling company.
