QRHC

Quest Resource Holding Corp. (QRHC) provides comprehensive environmental waste management and recycling services to businesses across North America. Headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, the company operates as a nationwide environmental services provider specializing in waste disposal, recycling, and sustainability program management. Quest serves over 6,000 customer locations spanning industries including retail, food service, hospitality, and healthcare through a network of over 4,500 vetted service providers. The company's platform-based business model focuses on program management rather than owning disposal assets, allowing it to coordinate and optimize waste streams including motor oil, antifreeze, cooking oil, food waste, cardboard, plastic, and general refuse. Quest generates revenue primarily through fees charged for managing client sustainability programs and coordinating waste removal services. The company has expanded through strategic acquisitions, including the 2021 purchase of Earth911, an environmental information platform, and Red Technologies, which added electronic recycling capabilities. With approximately 200 employees, Quest emphasizes data analytics and reporting to help clients track sustainability metrics and achieve environmental goals. The company positions itself as a single-source provider that simplifies complex waste management needs while helping organizations reduce environmental impact and potentially lower costs through improved waste diversion and recycling rates.
