They’ll have lower environmental impacts because they won’t have to be replaced as frequently.”Ashkin is also seeing facilities such as airports and municipal buildings using trash cans that compress garbage, thereby extending the time between pickups and reducing the number of trash liners used.And in office buildings, Mark Petruzzi, senior vice president of outreach and strategic relations for Green Seal, is seeing companies downsizing trash cans in an effort to promote recycling. “Some of the greener facilities are using a system where the trash container is the size of a cereal box, and the recycling bin is the size of a traditional trash can,” he says. “The trash container hangs over the edge of the recycling bin to encourage occupants to reduce their trash and increase recycling.”These forms of behavior modification, along with occupant education, can augment facilities’ efforts to eliminate unnecessary liners, thereby supporting greener, more sustainable waste management programs. n - See more at: http://www.cleanlink.com/hs/article/Selecting-Sustainable-Waste-Receptac...
