Boise, ID transforming waste into infrastructure pilot
The city of Boise partnered with Los Angeles-based ByFusion, a waste to infrastructure company, to launch the Hefty EnergyBag pilot program. The program involves diverting truckloads of plastic away from the incinerator and into a ByBlocker machine. The ByBlocker uses a combination of steam and compression to transform the waste into 22-pound multi-colored plastic blocks similar to concrete.
