Our Sustainability Philosophy

Innovative Recycling a company that strongly believes all companies and consumers should act responsibly with respect to protecting the environment.  Companies who share this passion have embraced the goals of Reducing the impact of their products, Reusing products and materials where possible, Recovering products and materials to prevent landfill, and Recycling products at the end of life.

Innovative Recycling represents a solution for three of the four legs in this quest for environmental stewardship.  We provide a process for recovering and reusing materials, with the goal that 100% of the received product is recycled using a safe and efficient process.

We believe in providing accurate and timely data on services and operating results for our customers.  Daily reports are provided to customers to ensure that communication is always available.  We welcome audits and reviews from customers at any time.

We believe in respect for all our employees.  We recognize that our company is our employees and we strive to provide them with a work environment and management practices that demonstrate our commitment to this goal.
