Applied Research Northwest is a member of Sustainable Connections and participates in their Toward Zero Waste program. The aim of the program is to reduce the amount of waste going to local landfills, increase reuse and recycling of existing resources, and increase purchasing of recycled and environmentally preferable products.
I have attended several Zero Waste meetings and educated the ARN team about the proper reusing, recycling and composting procedures.
Towards Zero Waste activities ARN participates in:
Using the both sides of paper
Buying 100% recycled printer/copier paper
FoodPlus! composting
Recycling all printer toners
Donating unused office equipment
Properly disposing of flourescent tubes and batteries
Using rechargeable batteries
