The environment needs your help. Many hospitals produce as much waste as a small city. Cardboard and paper easily makes up 20% to 40% of a hospitals total waste stream. Recyclable glass and plastics make up an additional 10% to 15%. With an effective plan, this material may be diverted to the recycling stream, saving trees, energy, and landfill costs too. The Waste Tracker^TM assists you in planning and managing recycling by tracking what is going on and which improvements are needed where.

In June of 1998, The AHA and the EPA issued an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) stating their goal of "Total Waste Volume Reduction by the health care industry with an initial goal of achieving a thirty-three percent (33%) reduction in all hospitals by 2005 and a fifty percent (50%) reduction by 2010." These objectives are important, but cannot be met overnight.

The Waste Tracker^TM gives you a systematic approach to meeting these and other environmental objectives.
