WasteWise is celebrating its 15th year as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) flagship partnership program to reduce municipal solid waste (MSW) generated by businesses, organizations, and communities. The program has grown to include more than 2,100 partners and endorsers from every state, representing nearly 50 industry sectors. The environmental success of the partners efforts is tangible - 12.5 million tons of waste were reduced in 2007. This is equivalent to the annual GHG emissions from the energy used in more than 26 million households. Since 1994, WasteWise has been at the forefront of EPAs efforts to achieve environmental results through partnership programs. To date, WasteWise partners have reported preventing and recycling 150 million tons of waste. The achievements of WasteWise partners in the areas of waste prevention and recycling, and the manufacturing and purchasing of recycled-content products reduces partners energy use and GHG emissions. To encourage continued success among partners, WasteWise is developing more tools to help partners reduce, reuse, and recycle.
