I always welcome efforts to recycle for a better environment and want to congratulate you on your continuous efforts.
As a suggestion to even further reduce your carbon footprints you should maybe consider to recycle all organic waste materials that you companies produce with the help of earthworms or compost worms.
Worm composting is cheap, an easy process, doesn’t produce any bad odors and brings many benefits. Amongst them are reduction of the production of methane gas which contributes to climate change. The worms are living in worm bins and convert organic waste products into nutrient rich natural fertilizers and pesticides with a great retail value.
If applied properly you might be able to recycle up to 50% of your waste with the help of earthworms.
