Solid Waste Reduction

There are always opportunities for industries, businesses, institutions, and public facilities to reduce solid waste generation.  Let the multidisciplinary engineers and scientists of WRP help you in identifying strategies to improve your programs to reduce, reuse and recycle waste, and optimize the value of any byproduct materials. 

Since 2000, Waste Reduction Partners has helped clients find ways to reduce or recycle over 177,000 tons of solid waste headed to landfills and save over $14.5 million. 

 Waste Reduction Assessments

Solid waste reduction assessments are performed to develop techniques to avoid the generation of solid waste and develop methods to recycle or reuse waste products, reducing the material going to landfills.

Best Management Practices

Waste Reduction Partners identifies private and public sector programs with unique success in waste reduction.

Guides to Recycling Markets

WRP's partner, the Recycling Business Assistance Center, does research on recycling markets to use to find homes for recyclable materials and for analyzing opportunities in the recycling industry.

No-Cost Food Waste Reduction Assessments

In the U.S., it is estimated that 24% of food grown ends up in a landfill or incinerator. Much of this waste happens in our homes, but businesses along the food supply chain significantly make our food systems more efficient. Businesses that address food waste reduction strategies will save on disposal costs, improve employee job satisfaction, and enhance public relations.
