Join Environmental Initiative as we take a broad look at a product’s entire life cycle, and then narrow in on upstream waste. Expert presenters and local business leaders will discuss strategies for reducing waste through initial product design and raw material use, sustainable purchasing practices, tracking upstream material use and processes through scorecards and supplier surveys, and collaborating and communicating with suppliers. Peer-to-peer learning and small group discussions will help you identify key takeaways to put into action at your own workplace.
