three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our
customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and

collect additional material to bolster our circularity
capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive
additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing
recycling and waste customers.Recycling and WasteWe continue to
expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North

growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation,
an increasing customer need.--SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATIONRepublic's
recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization
demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a
platform for growth.The Republic Services Polymer Center is the
nation's first integrated plastics recycling facility. This
innovative site processes rigid plastics from our recycling
centers, producing recycled materials that promote true
bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint
venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further
process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the
growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network
of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North
America.We continue to advance decarbonization at our landfills. As

portfolio to 115 projects by 2028.RECENT RECOGNITION
