| Abstract | At a time when waste disposal costs skyrocketed for most manufacturers, a western Michigan automotive supplier decreased annual plant disposal costs by almost 50 percent. Aggressive waste reduction projects at the Holland Plant of Northern Fiber Operations, a division of Sheller-Globe Corporation, reduced the costs of disposing of production and office wastes from $25,900 in 1986 to $13,600 in 1987. A prime reason for the success was employee involvement in planning and implementing the waste reduction projects. |
