Do you have a Green Team at your business?

Do you need assistance starting one, or taking the next steps? Join this peer-to-peer learning network to learn best practices and tips from knowledgable speakers and from your peers in the field. Each meeting begins with networking, introductions and a “circle” question.  A presentation follows by a speaker or WasteCap staff. Finally, the host gives a presentation and/or tour.

Meetings are held over the lunch hour (11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.) Online registration is required. Lunch is $10. Meals are locally-sourced and zero waste.

Omaha Green Team Roundtables fall on odd months, Lincoln’s are on even months, and there is a meeting scheduled in greater Nebraska each month. To learn more about attending or hosting a Green Team Roundtable at your business, contact Julie Diegel, [email protected] or call 402-436-2384 x1001.

The Strive Towards Sustainability

(STS) Program is a tool created by the Sustainable Business Council (SBC) of Missoula, MT and adopted by WasteCap Nebraska to be introduced to Nebraska businesses through half-day workshops starting in January 2013.

The Program’s objective is to provide educational assistance, recognize achievements, and create a network of businesses that are on a sustainable path. It includes a business plan built upon equitable labor practices, ethical profits, and responsible use of natural resources. It will provide education for communities and serve as a robust marketing tool for businesses as they begin to move towards true sustainability.

Waste Assessments

Recycling is one of the “low-hanging fruits” in any beginning sustainability program, and the most widely used method for reducing the volume of waste sent to the landfill. WasteCap professional staff provides a nonregulatory analysis of the volume and composition of waste produced by your business. A follow-up report outlines materials volumes, suggests waste management options, and recommends local recycling service providers for taking concrete steps toward waste management. This service is included in all WasteCap business memberships.
