California's Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP)

For a fourteenth consecutive year, EDCO’s programs to reduce, reuse and recycle waste company-wide have been recognized by California’s Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP). In addition to recycling paper, food and beverage containers, scrap metal, and other recyclable materials, EDCO promotes waste reduction and prevention by encouraging staff to make double-sided copies, limit use of disposable items, and use electronic messaging.

At EDCO, waste and recycling is our business, but it’s also our corporate policy:

• EDCO continues its philosophy of reuse by donating computers no longer in use and equipment to charitable organizations.
• EDCO has initiated a paperless communication system to reduce the need for additional paper products.
• EDCO saves pallets received from large orders and reuses them while saving packaging material to reuse when shipping is necessary.
• EDCO has modified its communication system through the use of e-mail, eliminating the amount of paper needed. Also we reuse old or used paper products for scratch paper and notes.
• EDCO’s maintenance department recycles vehicle fluids, filters and tires to ensure that the environment is not contaminated by their disposal.
