"Waste not, want not" could be the motto of Synagro Technologies, which converts sewage sludge into marketable products. The company collects biosolids created by the treatment of wastewater at municipal and industrial plants throughout the US. Synagro Technologies makes money by drying, pelletizing, composting, and incinerating the biosolids and by transporting them for land application as soil base and fertilizer. The company also cleans out sewage lagoons and designs biosolids recycling systems. Synagro Technologies is owned by investment firm The Carlyle Group.
