Environment: The amount of waste we, as individuals,
generate is somewhat staggering - about 96 pounds per person, per
month. Over an average lifetime (about 70 years) we will each generate
nearly 41 tons of trash. Companies, by virtue of their size and nature
of operation, obviously generate dramatically larger numbers of waste
and the costs to dispose of that material are rising at an equally
dramatic rate. In light of these facts, it's easy to understand why
a growing number of firms - particularly those whose operations demand
regular, heavy use of disposable containers for shipping, packing
and in - house movement, are seeking alternatives to the use of such
materials in day - to - day operations.
