Pomace, spent grain, and lees are diversion streams — not hauling headaches.
ICTV diverts the wet organic byproducts your production generates — pomace, spent grain, lees, and stillage — into animal feed, composting, and anaerobic digestion, while recovering the glass and OCC stacking up in your warehouse. We run these programs nationwide, with California's SB 1383 as the leading compliance example.
What waste looks like without the right partner.
High-volume wet byproducts
Pomace, spent grain, lees, and stillage come off production heavy, wet, and fast. They spoil, they smell, and they fill containers quicker than a general hauler is set up to handle.
Spent grain hauling is unreliable
The farmer who takes your spent grain for feed is great until the day he isn't — equipment down, herd sold, schedule changed. When that single outlet lapses, wet grain backs up with nowhere to go.
Glass and cardboard volume
Empties, broken stock, and case cardboard pile up by the pallet. Mixed into the trash, it inflates your disposal bill and leaves recoverable material sitting in a dumpster.
FOG and wastewater organics
Cleaning, racking, and processing generate fats, oils, grease, and liquid organic loads that need a managed outlet, not a floor drain — and increasingly, a documented one.
The gap between standard service and what wineries, breweries & distilleries operations actually need.
One feed outlet, no backup
A single farmer taking your spent grain is one schedule change away from leaving you with tons of spoiling wet material and no plan B.
Trash hauler treats it as garbage
A general waste vendor lands the wet organics in the landfill and the glass and OCC in the compactor — value destroyed, diversion zero, and no record of any of it.
No documentation behind the pickup
Casual byproduct arrangements leave no tonnage data and no diversion paper trail, so when SB 1383 reporting comes due you have nothing defensible to submit.
What ICTV handles for wineries, breweries & distilleries.
Wet organic byproducts route to animal feed, composting, or anaerobic digestion based on material and volume, and we recover the glass and OCC from your warehouse in the same coordinated program.
The compliance picture.
What these laws mean for wineries, breweries & distilleries — in plain English.
California organics collection rules depend on local programs and approved waivers. AB 1826’s threshold is two cubic yards of total solid waste weekly; SB 1383 adds collection and, for designated generators, edible-food recovery duties.
Non-compliance risk
Confirm applicable service, documentation and retention duties with the jurisdiction. Enforcement and penalties depend on the responsible party and regulation; jurisdiction-level fines are not universal business fines.

Covered packaging and plastic food service ware may create producer responsibility duties. Permanent regulations took effect May 1, 2026. Identify producer roles, covered materials and exclusions using current CalRecycle guidance.
Non-compliance risk
Waste service coordination does not replace producer obligations. Confirm registration, reporting, program requirements and exemptions with the relevant organization and qualified advisers.
Services that apply to your operation.
Organics & Food Waste Diversion
We design the diversion program for pomace, spent grain, lees, and stillage — feed, compost, and anaerobic digestion outlets coordinated so wet byproducts always have a reliable home.
Recyclable Material Purchasing
We recover and purchase the glass and OCC from your warehouse on a consistent monthly program, turning empties and case cardboard into recovered value instead of trash weight.
Waste Compliance & Reporting
Audit-ready diversion reports with defensible tonnage for SB 1383 and local jurisdictions, covering organics and recyclables across every facility.
Audit-ready records. Every program.
Every ICTV program produces documentation that holds up under regulatory review, internal audit, and ESG reporting.

Tonnage of pomace, spent grain, lees, and stillage diverted, with the recovery pathway documented for each stream.
Compliance tracking report
Diversion performance measured against SB 1383, AB 1826, and local jurisdictional requirements.
Glass and OCC recovery statement
Volumes of glass and cardboard recovered from your warehouse, separated from the organics streams.
GHG and landfill-avoidance metrics
Greenhouse gas reduction and zero-waste-to-landfill documentation suitable for audits and sustainability reporting.

Wet byproducts route to the best available outlet — animal feed first where the material qualifies, then composting or anaerobic digestion. We run multiple partners so a single farmer going offline never leaves you stuck.
Give your pomace, spent grain, and glass a reliable, documented outlet.
We assess your production byproducts and warehouse recyclables, then build a program with the diversion outlets and reporting to keep you compliant and out of the landfill — nationwide.
No obligation. Free facility assessment included.
