26. • Continue to look for expansion opportunities
• Engage Mid-western states
• Began in MO, WI, IN
• Investigating west coast solutions
• Invite ideas and conversations
• Location? We can go as far west as the
Mississippi
• Waste generation:
• >7K pounds per month recommended
• Biohazardous classification
• Difficult to recycle products
• Autoclaving
• Growing operations?
• Corporate goals:
• % recycling
• Zero Waste or Zero Landfill
• Employee engagement
• What works & what doesn’t
