• Continue to look for expansion opportunities

• Engage Mid-western states

• Began in MO, WI, IN

• Investigating west coast solutions

• Invite ideas and conversations

• Location? We can go as far west as the

Mississippi

• Waste generation:

• >7K pounds per month recommended

• Biohazardous classification

• Difficult to recycle products

• Autoclaving

• Growing operations?

• Corporate goals:

• % recycling

• Zero Waste or Zero Landfill

• Employee engagement

• What works & what doesn’t
