Since 1998, the National Recycling Coalition’s Recycling Works award has honored a company or organization that shows exceptional vision and leadership, is setting the highest standards, and is impacting meaningful change within the recycling industry.
This year the National Recycling Coalition will honor Staples for its assertive and broad approach to environmental sustainability.
Staples strives to make it easier for their customers, associates and the communities they serve to join then in protecting the environment. They call this the Staples EcoEasyTM. From offering customers innovative environmental products and services to implementing energy conservation, waste reduction, recycling, and green building initiatives in their internal operations, Staples is focused on positive change that truly makes a difference in the world.
Staples focuses its environmental programs on three major areas: products, recycling services, and internal operations.
The NRC’s 11th Annual Recycling Works Award Ceremony and Gala will be taking place April 28, 2009 at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel in Washington, D.C.
