Waste Reduction. In 2012, we set a goal to recycle 50% of our waste each month. Through our continuous improvement efforts, we have consistently recycled 67% because: ✓ We increased the size and number of our recycling containers and stations on-premise. ✓ We provide recycling education to all employees. ✓ We send non-recyclable or hard-to-recycle materials to TerraCycle to reduce our waste. TerraCycle then re-purposes, reuses and recycles our donated items. In turn, we earn money in a points system that funds our environmental and social charity choices. ✓ We purchase all paper and plastic products from World Centric, a Zero Carbon Footprint Company to reduce our use of virgin trees and harmful plastics. World Centric uses bagasse for many of their products and only 100% PCW tree fiber when needed. Toxic petroleum- based plastics are obsolete—World Centric only produces plant-based plastics. All products are biodegradable, compostable, and non-GMO. ✓ We collect and recycle used batteries. ✓ We also participate in Earth Day events to raise money for eco-friendly organizations, such as The Organic Farming Research Foundation and The Canopy Project.
