Four Reasons Why Waste Reduction
is Important to Your Company |
|
 1. Waste Reduction
Saves Money
Disposing of waste has become more expensive every year for businesses. Waste
haulers sign long-term deals with municipalities and, in effect, become monopolies
that increase rates by as much as 100% per year. By implementing waste reduction
programs, your company can save substantially on waste disposal costs. Hewlett
Packard, for example, has been able to reduce waste by as much as 93% and save
$1.25 million per year.

 2.
Facilitates Compliance with State Laws
In 1990, the California legislature passed Assembly Bill 939,
a law that requires municipalities to divert 50% of their solid
waste (through recycling and waste prevention) by the year
2006. Municipalities are held accountable for achieving
these goals and look to businesses to assist with compliance.

 3. Improves
the Environment and Your Company's Image
Waste Reduction Technology can help
your company receive awards for excellent environmental achievement,
such as Green Business Awards and WRAP awards from California’s
waste management agency. These awards are earned by companies
that demonstrate excellence in resource efficiency and waste
reduction. In today’s business climate, having a “Green” image
attracts customers. Not only is waste reduction good for your
company’s bottom line, it helps to improve the environment!

 4.
Boosts Employee Morale
Employees appreciate the fact that their company cares about
the environment and is willing to do the “right thing” in
terms of waste reduction and recycling. Waste Reduction

feedback from our clients’ employees.
