Waste Not
Landfills around the world are growing by the minute. They pollute everything around them, poisoning air, food, and water. There seems to be an endless supply of waste.
A small business can contribute to problem-solving. Every operation has waste. Every process can be more efficient.
An acquaintance had been off work for quite a while because of a serious injury. His part of the operation included dealing with scrap. He complained to me that no one had taken care of the problem while he was out. Ther was a huge amount of scrap metal from the production line, Now, he was stuck trying to find someone to haul it all off. I asked why he wasn’t calling a scrap dealer to buy it. It was one of those smack-in-the-forehead moments. The company had always sent it to the landfill. He found a very happy dealer the next day.
