Voices | Responsibility your progress, which makes it easier to adjust as needed. 5. Consider your equipment. In this way, some of the resort’s practices are quite translatable for promotional products business, or even our homes. For example, MGM has saved water by switching to low- or controlled-flush urinals and toilets and installing faucets with timers or sensors to control water flow. 6.Make waste diversion your priority. There are numerous motivations and processes for diverting waste from landfills, incinerators and oceans. PPAI offers guidance in this area that explains the motivations and outlines some of the solutions available for promotional products industry businesses. MGM Resorts’ waste management program employs the single-stream method, meaning all the waste at their properties goes into the same trash receptacles. It may go unnoticed that MGM properties do not have separate trash and recycling bins. This is because MGM sorts the trash at each of its properties before sending it to the respective materials recycling facilities. Every MGM property has at least one loading dock dedicated to recycling, and Mandalay Bay Convention Center has 11. 7. Be sure you can substantiate your claims. These recycling docks are used to sort the material before it goes to recycling facilities. It is the best method MGM has devised for ensuring its waste will be diverted instead of discarded at landfills. It is important for promotional products industry businesses to know where our products come from, but it is also important to know where our production waste goes, and it is incumbent upon us to ensure we can substantiate any claims we are making regarding green production processes.
