s/o Corporate waste -- "Reducing Trash Saves Company Cash"
in Green Living
DH heard this on NPR this afternoon and told me about it after I told him the about the article about H&M (and others) that was posted earlier today.
http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/01/06/pm-zero-waste/
I would C&P the whole article here for easy reading, but the formating is funky. A highlight, though:
Baldassari says the company makes about $900 a year by selling their leather scraps. That may not sound like much, but they used to have to pay to have it hauled away. Same goes with wood scraps. Most are now sent away to be burned for thermal energy or turned into plywood.Paper, plastic and cardboard that can't be used for another purpose gets recycled. All this has cut Taylor's trash bill from $20,000 a year to just under a grand.
BALDASSARI: We do not get a Thank-you-for-your-business card each holiday season from our waste hauler. We're probably their worst customer.
Baldassari says 90 percent of Taylor's trash is reused or recycled.
