What is Waste Reduction?

Waste reduction involves minimizing the amount of waste created, starting with smarter consumption. It's more than just recycling; it includes avoiding excessive packaging, using reusable items, and buying only what’s necessary. In fact, 75% of the waste in the U.S. is recyclable, making waste reduction even more achievable.

Steps for Implementing Waste Reduction

1. Obtain Management Commitment: Ensure leadership supports and drives the initiative.
2. Define Scope and Goals: Set clear objectives for reducing waste and saving costs.
3. Build a Team: Form a cross-departmental team to tackle waste reduction.
4. Conduct a Waste Assessment: Identify areas of improvement and waste causes.
5. Develop a Strategy: Create actionable strategies, including equipment upgrades and employee training.
6. Implement the Plan: Begin executing the plan and monitor progress.
7. Evaluate and Adjust: Track success and make necessary adjustments.
8. Report Results: Share your success and challenges with the team.
