Sustainability Through Large-Scale Meter Recycling Infographic

This infographic was developed to communicate Utility Partners of America’s commitment to sustainability through its large-scale meter recycling program. Each year, UPA recycles an estimated 1.5 million water, gas, and electric meters, diverting significant material from landfills while supporting responsible infrastructure lifecycle management. The design translates operational practices into a clear visual system that highlights key outcomes including resource conservation, environmental benefits, energy savings, economic value, and regulatory compliance. Iconography and structured visual flow guide viewers through the broader impact of meter recycling beyond simple disposal. Created for digital distribution, the infographic helps utilities and industry partners quickly understand the environmental and operational value of UPA’s recycling program while reinforcing the company’s role in advancing sustainable infrastructure practices.
