Innovative Approaches to Recycling and Waste Reduction

Companies are looking further up the supply chain at materials sourcing and product design to create more environmentally-friendly products and packaging that make waste reduction and landfill diversion goals more achievable for them and their customers.
At the same time, leading companies are establishing aggressive zero waste policies that provide guiding principles and an overall vision to internal and external stakeholders. Their work represents a vital core of a zero waste sustainability initiative and the commitments, values and objectives that can drive it forward.
