Manufacturers can turn waste challenges into opportunities for greater resilience and resource efficiency.
As industries grow, managing solid waste safely and compliantly requires planning—especially as U.S. hazardous-waste capacity faces increasing constraints. A study by Charles River Associates and Veolia found that a 1% shortfall in capacity could cost the U.S. economy an estimated $27 billion per year. This webinar explores practical ways manufacturing companies can reduce their waste footprint, divert materials from landfill and incineration, and find beneficial uses for byproducts.
In this hour-long webinar, you’ll learn:
- How to identify processes with potential for waste reduction, recycling, and beneficial reuse
- Why hazardous-waste capacity constraints make proactive planning essential
- How circular principles can inform facility expansions and major capital projects
- How to explore a waste-reduction effort with Veolia and share the study’s findings with your team
