History:
Landfills +, Inc. is a small business incorporated in the State of Illinois. It was founded by Dr. Jean Bogner in 1997 and is based in Wheaton, a Chicago suburb. In 1998, J. Bogner left Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne, IL) to devote full time to private consulting through Landfills +, Inc. As a small business, Landfills +, Inc. is able to give personalized attention to client needs and respond quickly to client requests. Landfill gas has been J. Bogner's major area of emphasis and interest in a wide variety of projects over the last 20 years at Argonne and in previous consulting for private clients
Mission Statement:
To provide specialized problem-solving services for landfill gas recovery, emissions, and control in the context of integrated waste management in order to optimize energy and environmental benefits at local, regional, and global scales.
