Microsoft Headquarters Cuts Waste in Half Through Recycling Program
The Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wash. has a new waste management program that is expected to cut its employee-generated waste in half.
The plan revolves around three key steps:
- Expanding recycling efforts to cover all metal containers
- Composting of not only organic food, but also kitchen materials like food containers and flatware
- Shipping used fryer oil from kitchens and cafes to biodiesel refineries
