Mission Statement:
WasteCap of Massachusetts is the statewide, non-profit, public/private partnership working with the business
community to develop and implement cost-effective programs for recycling,
buying recycled, reuse, and waste reduction.
Background :
WasteCap was founded by the business
community after the defeat of the controversial 1992 Massachusetts
Packaging Initiative
to demonstrate that the private sector could voluntarily and
effectively reduce solid waste through the development and implementation
of solid waste management programs.
|
|
|
Massachusetts businesses generate 55% of all
municipal solid waste in the Commonwealth. WasteCap strives to minimize
this environmental impact by providing free, voluntary programs to the
private sector on recycling and waste reduction. Our staff members answer
hundreds of technical assistance calls, promote services offered by
innovative recycling and waste management firms in the Commonwealth, conduct
site visits, and develop business recycling partnerships.
