Metrofuser Partners With Wastewise
ROSELLE, NJ (February 26, 2016) – Metrofuser announced today that it will participate in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) innovative WasteWise program, the country's first national voluntary solid waste reduction program.
WasteWise encourages organizations to reduce municipal solid waste through waste prevention, recycling and buying or manufacturing recycled products. WasteWise partners have saved thousands, even millions of dollars in purchasing costs and waste disposal fees by reducing, reusing, and recycling solid waste materials.
As a WasteWise member, Metrofuser is required to establish three new waste prevention activities, expand or improve its current recycling reports, and purchase and/or manufacture additional products with recycled content. The programs Metrofuser initiates as part of its participation in WasteWise will build on the successes of its established waste prevention and recycling reports. A major thrust of WasteWise is waste prevention—actions that minimize or eliminate the generation of waste before it is created—with the goal of decreasing the amount of material that must be recycled or thrown away.
The WasteWise program has a broad and varied membership that repects the makeup of corporate America. More than 1,600 organizations have joined WasteWise since 1994, demonstrating their leadership in finding cost-effective ways to reduce waste. WasteWise partners include many of the country's leading manufacturers, retailers and service firms, spanning more than 50 different industry sectors. The program also services federal, state and local governments, tribes and other non-corporate institutions.
Metrofuser plans to reduce the waste it generates by 5 percent in one year through its participation in the WasteWise program. Participation in WasteWise will help reduce costs and demonstrate Metrofuser 's ongoing commitment to sustainability. For more information on WasteWise, visit http://www.epa.gov/wastewise.
