Revolution Resource Recovery

What Revolution Resource Recovery does

Revolution Resource Recovery is a British Columbia-based, privately held waste management and resource recovery company founded in 1989 that provides waste disposal, recycling, and organics recovery services to commercial, hospitality, residential, and municipal/institutional clients across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Operating under the trade name "Force of Nature," the company runs two Resource Recovery Parks—one in Surrey (19500 56th Ave) and one in Vancouver (460 E Kent Ave South)—where it accepts the complete waste streams of customers and processes them centrally. Service coverage spans Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Delta, New Westminster, Abbotsford, and Maple Ridge.

The company's core technology centers on advanced processing systems within its Resource Recovery Parks, including bagged organics processing and food and beverage de-packaging technology. The company states it operates the only licensed facilities in British Columbia designed to accept organic material in plastic and compostable bags, and that its de-packaging technology recovers 99.99% of food from packaging, including expired, recalled, and excess packaged or bulk foods. A "Full Circle Recovery System" reportedly converts organic material into Class 'A' compost, animal feed, renewable fuels, and organic food ingredients. Specific technical architectures, patents, and AI/automation components are not disclosed in available materials.

The business model is service-based and quote-priced. Revenue is generated across four streams: waste collection and disposal (consultation, equipment, hauling, processing), waste audit and consulting, equipment rental (totes and bins), and processing and sorting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company offers free quotes and complimentary assessments. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, relying on the company website, a single phone line (604-539-1900), and local SEO landing pages per served municipality. The company is 100% BC owned and operated with no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no leadership team information publicly available.

Revolution Resource Recovery provides waste disposal, recycling, and organics recovery services to commercial, institutional, and municipal customers throughout British Columbia's Lower Mainland.

The company also offers waste audits, consulting, equipment rental, hauling, and full-circle recovery into compost, animal feed, and renewable natural gas.

The core offering combines Waste Disposal Services, Recycling Services & Solutions, Organics Recycling & Solutions, and Resource Recovery Facilities, supported by Waste Audit & Consulting Services. The company operates two key facilities—the Surrey Resource Recovery Park and Vancouver Resource Recovery Park—where materials are processed through proprietary systems to achieve industry-leading recovery rates of 99.99% for food separation from packaging. The portfolio is designed as an integrated system where consultation, equipment rental, hauling, processing, and full circle recovery services work together to divert waste from landfills and transform it into organic soils, animal feed, renewable fuels, and organic food ingredients.
