Waste Reduction

In addition to Recycling, we also focus on other areas under a broad approach to Waste Reduction, including: Reuse, Repurposing, “Upcycling”, Proper Disposal, Organics Recycling and other efforts to reduce waste and use materials as resource in a higher beneficial use process; all are integral components of sustainable materials management.
