Mill-Wide Waste Minimization Program, 1990 Environmental Conference Proceedings

In response to the growing solid waste crisis facing the nation, the Coshocton mill of Stone Container Corporation has committed itself to the implementation of a major waste reduction program. The program was designed to utilize various methods of recycling and source elimination. A serious look was also taken at finding viable markets for some of the mill’s waste streams. The results to date show that a reduction of 45% was realized when comparing 1988 monthly figures to those at the end of 1989. Landfill operating costs were also reduced by 20% with landfill life expectancy increasing by 45%. Some reduction projects still in the development stages have the potential to increase reduction level into the 90% range in the upcoming year.
