The waste reduction team consists of employees responsible for maintaining your waste reduction program—planning, designing, and implementing activities. By forming a team, numerous employees in various departments can share in your organization's waste reduction efforts. The size of your team will depend on the size of your organization and its individual departments/operations.

Members might be responsible for activities such as:

• Working with your organization's management to set the preliminary and long-term goals of the waste reduction program.
  
  
• Gathering and analyzing information relevant to the design and implementation of the program.
  
  
• Promoting the program to other employees and educating them on ways to participate.
  
  
• Monitoring program progress.
  
  
• Reporting to management about the status of the program.
  
  
• Reporting to WasteWise on the organization's waste reduction efforts.
