5: Pollution & Waste
Pollution Prevention and Waste Reduction Other Information:
MCC occupies leased commercial office space and building management of each building is responsible for waste collection and
recycling. Therefore this goal does not apply. Nonetheless, MCC is committed to pollution prevention, waste elimination and
recycling, and has taken steps to minimize waste and encourage conservation, as described elsewhere in this plan. To this
end, MCC will continue to identify and implement cost effective opportunities, where relevant, to minimize waste, increase
reuse, and encourage staff participation in recycling. Late in FY 2009, MCC implemented new printer standards that eliminated
use of cover sheets and required that all devices be set to duplex printing. These efforts were completed in early FY 2010.
Table 9, below, highlights the significant and ongoing benefits of these efforts, including a 45% reduction in paper purchased
from the FY 2008 baseline.
