Workplace Sustainability: 05. Managing Your Waste

In the Workplace Sustainability: 05. Managing Your Waste elearning course, we cover best practices for organizing waste at the workplace. Nearly everything we do creates some sort of waste. Over time we’ve gotten better at managing our trash to avoid disease, to limit pollution, and to reduce pest infestation. But there’s still plenty of room for improvement. This course discusses strategies and considerations you’ll want to take into account when developing an environmentally friendly waste-management program for your organization. We’ll cover how to identify where you’re being wasteful, and tips for recycling, reusing, and eco-conscious purchasing. We’ll also discuss the roles of a waste-management expert and employee task force in developing and maintaining protocols for minimizing waste.

Part of our Workplace Sustainability series, the Managing Your Waste course offers useful insight into environmental initiatives your company can implement. Downloadable student materials and an online quiz are included for easy reference and review.
