Mugs and utensils, packaging materials, toner cartridges and boxes are reused in the office. Employees collect white paper and cans for recycling, and purchase copier paper, calculator tape, and toilet paper with recycled content. To ensure that the waste reduction and recycling program continues, certain employees are designated to oversee the program and new employees learn about it upon being hired. In an industry where turn over is high and employee orientation may seem like a wasted effort, Schramm's Deli boasts an outstanding employee orientation and education program. Schramm's also reuses folders, kitchenware, and envelopes.
Employees also purchase various recycled-content paper products.
These businesses are on the road to sound waste reduction practices. Please commend these businesses and organizations.
