WasteWise a Resource
Businesses that include the Environmental Protection Agency's WasteWise program in their sustainability plan will benefit from the tools and information provided.
Businesses that are developing their own sustainability strategy to reduce costs and environmental impact can benefit from including the Environmental Protection Agency's WasteWise program in their management plan.
"Organizations can join WasteWise to make a difference, either as a partner, endorser, or both. Partners join to change their own behavior and track their own internal waste reduction efforts, while endorsers are state and local government agencies, trade associations, nonprofit organizations, and businesses that help their members, clients, and constituents realize that reducing solid waste makes good business sense. WasteWise, launched in 1994, has more than 2700 members."
