NOW PRESENTING
The 2nd Edition Race for Zero Waste Participants

 

The purpose of Race for Zero Waste is to stimulate commercial recycling through a national competition that establishes upgraded recycling programs, increases recycling rates for existing programs, and provides employees/program participants with educational opportunities about waste reduction. Businesses currently have the largest waste output and also pay the most for waste removal. Inconsistent labeling and recycling program information causes companies to lose profit from the recyclables that are being generated. It also leads to confusion among recyclers that can result in a lack of program participation. Through the Race for Zero Waste competition, we aim to motivate companies and their employees to enhance their recycling efforts and adopt sustainable behaviors.
