How can you educate your employees about your company's involvement
with the WasteWise Program and get them excited to participate?
Motivate employees and familiarize them with the WasteWise name
by using the WasteWise logo in creative ways. Many partners find
that hearing and seeing the WasteWise name increases employee participation
in the program and helps partners reach their WasteWise goals. Some
of the ideas for logo uses include:
Web Site
Demonstrate your partnership with EPA by placing the logo on your
environmental performance page or inserting a page dedicated to
your WasteWise activities.
Corporate Reports
The logo plus a description of your WasteWise activities can enhance
corporate reports or environmental performance reviews.
Recycling Bins
Demonstrates that your recycling program is part of a nationwide
effort and adds a recognizable symbol to your system.
Shipping Boxes, Grocery Bags, or Other Packaging
This is a great way to show customers that your organization is
a partner in the program. (Remember, must be used with disclaimer.)
WasteWise Posters or Flyers
Customize a downloadable poster or flyer from the WasteWise Web
site. Use it in your production area to remind employees how to
prevent waste and recycle properly, or to list environmental facts
showing the benefits of waste reduction.
Press Releases, Public Service Announcements, or Magazine Ads
Inform the public about your environmental achievements and spread
the waste reduction message! (Remember, must be used with disclaimer.)
Ink Stamps for Use on Envelopes
Stamping the logo on reused envelopes helps recipients understand
why old addresses may be crossed out or covered with a lable. One
WasteWise company uses a stamp that says “This envelope is
being reused to reduce waste and cost by [Insert COMPANY NAME].
Another WasteWise Project!”
Internal Newsletters and Bulletins
Keep employees up-to-date on how they can help prevent waste and
garner their support. Electronically distributed newsletters also
save paper!
Reusable Mugs
Encourages the use of reusable products.
Letterhead
Show suppliers, constituents, customers, and clients that you are
environmentally conscious.
Trade Show Exhibits
Display your organization's environmental awareness.
Placemats and Trayliners
For restaurants and partners with public cafeterias, this is a great
opportunity to positively influence customers' and employees' habits.
