Ep.8: How Loci Controls automates landfill methane gas collection

What happens to your bag of trash after you throw it in the dumpster? Most of us probably don't want to think in depth about this, but it's a problem that is constantly on the mind of this week's guest.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Matthew Laderer, Director of Engineering and Product Development at Loci Controls. Loci Controls' automated landfill gas collection platform increases landfill gas collection by 20% or more, ensures less methane is being released into the atmosphere, and reduces environmental, health, and safety risks.

We discuss what exactly Loci Controls does and why it's mission is so important, Matt's involvement with the company, his experience going from mechanical engineer to sourcing circuit boards, and more
