Casella celebrates National Recycling Day with launch of educational video
16 November 2021 - 6:31AM
In celebration of National Recycling Day, Casella Waste Systems,
Inc. (Nasdaq: CWST) launched the latest in a series of videos aimed
at educating the public on the importance of recycling as part of
an integrated resource management system that enables a circular
economy, while maintaining economic and environmentally sustainable
business practices.
“As a leader in recycling processing, we continue to invest in
technology and infrastructure to make recycling easier for
consumers, to improve separation of materials and the quality of
recycled commodities to be used in new products and increase the
volume of recyclables we can collect and process,” said Casella
Chairman and CEO John W. Casella. “In 2019 our operations were
responsible for managing more than 1 million tons of waste material
out of the disposal stream and we have set an ambitious target in
our recent 2020 Sustainability Report to double that annual effort
over the next decade. We plan to continue to do our part to educate
the public, and that’s a big reason why we started developing these
videos.”
The production features interviews with John Casella, recycling
operations experts Joe Soulia and Tim Langlois from Casella, and
Dr. Joseph Hall, a clinical professor at Dartmouth College’s Tuck
School of Business. Dr. Hall, who is an expert in operations
strategy and service operations management, is a strong advocate
for economic sustainability in recycling and has used Casella’s
recycling facilities for hands on learning opportunities.
National Recycling Day began in 1997 as a national holiday
established by the National Recycling Coalition and falls on
November 15 every year. This year, it also coincides with the start
of Maine Recycles Week, which is coming back for the first time in
over a decade, thanks in part to contributions from Casella and
other recyclers in Maine.
“’Reduce, reuse, and recycle’ has been around a long time, and
unfortunately we sometimes lose site of the most basic efforts to
keep recycling sustainable both economically and environmentally,”
Casella said. “Efforts like this video, National Recycling Day,
Maine Recycles Week, and our ongoing Recycle Better campaign are
all excellent reminders that recycling keeps evolving and is still
the best way to put our waste to a higher and better use.”
