Recycling is very much a part of the big picture in today’s solid waste management industry. Achieving sustainable operation is a high priority for companies and municipalities alike, and making sound energy choices to reduce the “carbon footprint” and help slow global warming is only part of it. Making intelligent resource management decisions across the board, from energy to water to materials and wastes, is deemed critical across the economy, and estimates of the energy and other resources saved by increasing recycling rates pop up with ever-greater frequency.
In this brave new world of heightened resource management awareness, the leading waste management firms are singing from the same “waste-to-resource” songbook. Of course, like the companies in any other industry, they're interested in reducing their own carbon footprint and achieving sustainable operations internally, but the core value proposition of the waste management industry is now transforming into a waste-to-resource business model, with clients demanding that their waste services providers not simply take the “stuff” away, but find opportunities for redirecting what was once discarded towards productive reuse.
In this 24-page issue, EBJ examines waste services firms' taking the lead on reducing carbon footprints; the challenges presented by soaring materials costs for waste equipment manufacturers; the strong scrap recycling industry; and more.
