Focused on spreading awareness about this eye-opening issue, our Glad® team sponsored award-winning photojournalist Peter Menzel and writer Faith D'Aluisio's newest photo series, a project called Waste in Focus, that takes a real life, moment-in-time look at what eight families around the country are recycling, composting and sending to landfill in a recent week. Here Faith shares some thoughts from this experience, along with some of Peter's photos. What surprised you most in what you saw in each family's waste-disposal habits?

Narrowing the Office Waste Stream to a Trickle

This post was written by Prashant Kripalani, a manager in Clorox’s Eco Office. A few years ago we embarked on a waste-diversion strategy at our corporate offices in Oakland, California, with the goal of diverting at least 90 percent of our landfill trash to recycling and composting. This effort was led primarily by a group of employee volunteers known as our local Eco Network. To achieve our desired diversion rate, we made two changes to the way our employees discard their office waste.

What It Takes to Get to Near-Zero Solid Waste

This post was written by David Creamer, Environment and Sustainability group manager. Our Glad® manufacturing facility in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada, has the distinction of being the first and only Clorox plant to receive the company’s Low Waste Facility designation. To be classified as a low waste facility, a site has to divert more than 90 percent of its waste away from landfill. In addition, the site has to pass a detailed audit to ensure that its landfill waste streams are free from any recyclable materials. A facility that meets these criteria and also can divert its remaining solid waste to a waste-to-energy facility is…

Really, One Bag Will Do

This post was written by Molly Steinkrauss, PR group manager for the Glad® brand. We are a trash bag brand that wants to see less trash in the world. As the U.S. works  to divert more to recycling and composting, we are also on a journey to reduce our own waste and help others do the same. We've introduced trash bags that use less plastic but are actually stronger, and offer a broader portfolio to help with recycling and composting. While this idea of driving out waste has been core to our heritage — we have a 28-year partnership with Keep America Beautiful — we knew we…

The Building Wave of #5 Plastics Recycling

  Written by John Lively, director, Environment and Material Science at Preserve. Preserve partners with our Brita® team to recycle #5 plastic water filters. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), #5 plastic is the most common plastic found in the U.S. municipal waste stream. For Preserve, the company where I’ve worked for almost 15 years, this stream of plastic is a treasure-trove of sustainable material. First of all, #5 plastic is one of the least impactful plastics according to many metrics and analyses. From its efficient chemical structure to its lack of harmful byproducts like BPA, on many measures #5 plastic routinely ranks as one…
