Reduction Technology Programs |

 • Reduce,
Reuse and Recycle Programs
The three pillars
of any successful waste reduction program will be recommended
and encouraged in the ongoing operation of your business. Waste
Reduction Technology will
work with your company to Reduce waste
before it is ever created. For example,
to Reduce the
amount of packaging involved in your products. Companies
such as Baxter Healthcare CVG have been able
to save over $1.2 million per year on packaging reduction
alone. Instead of throwing away perfectly useful items
such as office furniture and partitions, Waste
Reduction Technology can
often find a new home for these items to be Reused.
Frequently, these items can even be donated to local
non-profits and your company can receive a tax deduction.
For waste that can not be Reduced or Reused,
the next best strategy is to Recycle. Waste
Reduction Technology will
design organized and clearly labeled programs for your
paper,
cardboard, plastic, glass, aluminum, green
waste, food waste and other waste items. Such programs
will make the process easy, efficient, cost-effective
and fun.

 • Confidential
Shredding
In order to comply with State and National
legislation, businesses are expected to
shred documents, disks and CDs containing their customers'
names, addresses, telephone numbers, credit card information
and social security numbers. Waste Reduction Technology can
assist your company to set up a confidential shredding system
with locked containers and/or internal shredding units.
|
 • E-Waste
As your company evolves and expands,
so does its need for updating its computers, monitors, receivers
and other electronic
products. The frequent result is a growing obsolete
reserve of E-waste containing hazardous material that must
be managed properly. Waste Reduction Technology can
work with your company to come up with cost-effective solutions
for donating and recycling these components and to dispose
of them properly when necessary.
|
 • Composting and Green Waste
Organic materials such as grass clippings,
food waste, tree limbs and leaves can now be disposed of free
of charge in many jurisdictions. Waste Reduction
Technology can set up programs to divert these
waste components
and reduce your
waste disposal costs.
|
 • Wood Waste
Wood pallets used for shipping and
wood building materials are two types of wood waste that is
frequently thrown away at high cost. Waste Reduction
Technology can find reuse and recycling
solutions for your company's wood waste and greatly reduce
disposal costs.
|
 • Construction
Waste
Concrete, metal, wood and
other construction materials can be separated and reused or
recycled. Waste Reduction Technology has
the know-how to put these programs in place and reduce the
cost of disposing of
construction waste.
|
 • Hazardous Waste
Medical Waste, batteries, tires,
paint, and petroleum products are all types of hazardous waste
that must be disposed of properly. Waste Reduction Technology can
assist your company to find creative reuse, recycling and disposal
options for these items.
|
 • Closing the Loop
When your company purchases recycled
products, it is doing its part to "close the loop." Recycled
products have seen great improvements in recent years and can
be
purchased at competitive prices. Purchasing recycled
products also assists your company with regulatory compliance
and reduces the impact on the environment.
|
• Other Applications
For waste components not
specifically listed here, Waste Reduction Technology has
the knowledge and experience to design and implement programs
to
reduce, reuse and recycle as much of these materials as possible.
