Overview: How much is beat-up cardboard and old plastic film worth? Millions of dollars per year for one large U.S. retailer, thanks to a planned new recycling program that turns discarded packaging materials into bottom-line value. The detailed analysis showed that a properly structured recycling effort could cut the company's waste management costs by 43 percent and generate more than $3 million in revenue annually in the region covered by the analysis, which represents 15 percent of the company's national store footprint. The recycling program would also help the company reduce carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by approximately 37,000 metric tons in the pilot region alone (by, among other things, reducing the amount of waste routed to greenhouse gas-emitting landfills and incinerators).
