Businesses produce millions of tons of pollution—and spend billions of dollars annually controlling it, including disposal costs and management practices.

With today's increased awareness of environmental impacts, it's important for businesses to take steps to reduce the amount of waste generated at their facilities through the "4 Rs": Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rebuy. Additionally, many source reduction and recycling programs can be economically beneficial to companies in both the short and long term.

Listen to an informative and interactive webinar, when our expert will offer tips on greening your workplace in an effective, economical way.

You'll Learn:

  • How to determine whether your business can reduce its environmental impact
  • Initial steps to implement a source reduction and recycling program
  • Basic and advanced types of source reduction
  • Cost-effective strategies to evaluate for use at your location
  • How to measure your source reduction practices to ensure success
  • Steps to stay in compliance while enhancing your program
