We are committed to providing value-added <br />solid waste management consulting services of the <br />highest quality with no vested interest in a particular <br />outcome other than the satisfaction of our clients. <br />Our key personnel are the best and brightest in their <br />area of specialty and together we provide the best <br />experience and knowledge that money can buy.

KCI draws on <br />our experience and expertise to consistently assist our <br />clients in achieving practical, economically viable, and <br />environmentally sound solutions for a host of solid <br />waste management challenges. <br />➢ Leader in Innovation <br />KCI has a history of being on the leading edge of innovation in the solid <br />waste industry. Twenty years ago, the leading edge was single stream <br />recycling, and KCI led the way with national seminars on this topic. Ten <br />years ago, it was greening institutions, and KCI worked with numerous <br />clients on sustainability issues. Today it is maximizing recovery and zero <br />waste, and KCI developed SWANA’s National Zero Waste Principles and <br />Practices certification course. In all these circumstances, KCI’s visions were <br />years ahead of our competitors. <br />Characterization studies have always been an integral part of our work, but <br />even in this area KCI is leading the way. We are the lead consultant in <br />developing ASTM International’s standard methodology for conducting <br />recyclables characterization studies. Through this work, we have reviewed <br />characterization study protocols employed throughout the United States and in <br />other countries. We have developed a methodology that, following rigorous <br />review, will become the recommended protocol for such studies. <br />➢ Unparalleled Characterization Study Experience <br />KCI prides itself in providing useful characterization study results that meet our client’s objectives. <br />We know how to use characterization data for contracting and program development purposes. We <br />are known for providing actionable data on which policy and program decisions can be made. We <br />have never had our results questioned or dismissed as unusable. <br />KCI is uniquely qualified in conducting WCSs. KCI conducts all aspects of our characterization studies <br />(no outsourcing!) to ensure that the results are reliable. Our extensive industry knowledge and <br />experience ensures that study results are statistically valid and provide a reliable baseline for <br />contracts and program planning and improvement. <br />“KCI successfully recommended <br />innovative approaches for system- <br />wide changes to the County’s solid <br />waste program that immediately <br />increased operational efficiencies and <br />resulted in significant cost savings to <br />the County.” <br /> <br />Natalie Ham <br />County Attorney, <br />Charleston County, SC <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1223AA0B-DDEC-4EBE-8FEA-427010558A5C
