Use the results of your baseline exercise to identify key activities to help you become more "waste wise"—prevent waste, expand recycling, and increase the purchasing/manufacturing of recycled-content products. Be sure to set goals that can be tracked and measured—a proven key to success. Remember to submit your baseline data to WasteWise within two months of joining the program.
