City of Industry, CA, February 6, 2006--Bentley Prince Street has been named a winner in the 2005 Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) sponsored by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, the state’s leading authority on recycling and waste reduction.
The WRAP awards recognize California companies that develop innovative and aggressive programs to reduce the amount of nonhazardous solid waste they generate.
“At Bentley Prince Street, we’re committed to helping move California toward a zero-waste future,” said Anthony Minite, president of Bentley Prince Street. “We’re honored to receive this award, which acknowledges our continual focus on conserving resources and promoting sustainable business practices throughout every area of our operations.”
Now in its 13th year, the WRAP awards honor businesses for their commitment to a range of environmentally preferable business practices, including cutting the amount of trash they produce, conserving resources and reducing waste disposal in landfills. Practices evaluated include waste prevention, materials reuse, recycling, recycled-product procurement and employee education.
“Each WRAP award winner has adopted commendable business practices to cut their waste, recycle as much as possible, reuse materials and conserve natural resources,” said California Integrated Waste Management Board Chair Rosario Marin. “It’s a pleasure to honor the WRAP award winning businesses because they are taking positive steps to protect the environment and help their communities meet waste diversion goals.”
