November 5, 2025. Vanguard Renewables, a national leader in organics recycling and renewable energy production, announced the acquisition of Complete Beverage Destruction (CBD), a Florida-based beverage waste recycling facility. The move accelerates the company’s expansion into the state and reinforces its commitment to helping food and beverage manufacturers and retailers achieve their sustainability goals.
Vanguard Renewables brings a consultative approach to organics recycling, helping customers mitigate disposal risks, improve operations, and meet environmental objectives. The company offers a portfolio of sustainable disposal options through its owned and operated anaerobic digestion assets, depackaging facilities, and network of third-party partners.
“CBD has been a trusted partner in our network, and we’ve long admired their operational excellence and customer service,” said Mike O’Laughlin, CEO of Vanguard Renewables. “We’re excited to bring this facility into our portfolio and expand our ability to serve customers throughout Florida.”
The CBD facility processes approximately 200 tons per day of beverage waste through two liquids processing lines and offers certified destruction services, along with chain-of-custody documentation for regulatory compliance.
