Creating Innovative Programs
Not only is this pairing of needs good for the environment, it is also good for the bottom line of a business. By sharing by-products, best practices and experience, BPS has saved participating companies millions of dollars a year. Plus, it has kept thousands of tons of material from landfills and other disposal sites, and significantly reduced carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. These accomplishments have earned the innovative program a Gulf Guardian Award from the EPA. Learn more about By-Product Synergy Central Gulf Coast.
