Cost Savings and Waste Reduction
through Pollution Prevention and Recycling
By re-engineering processes, sharing resources, recycling, and working smart
BNL is saving millions of dollars in avoided disposal costs, reducing the risk of
pollution, eliminating compliance concerns, and creating a safer work place. The charts
below (MS Excel files) track the number of pounds of waste reduced, reused or recycled and
the cost savings associated with pollution prevention and recycling projects during the
calendar year. Cost savings are calculated based on actual costs of disposing of waste
through the Waste Management Division. For further information or details contact the
Pollution Prevention Coordinator.
Some projects continue to generate savings for years.
