Rethinking Waste in Federal Buildings

For federal agencies, a commitment to maintaining high-performance, sustainable buildings will demonstrate leadership, catalyze sustainable industries and jobs, and help agencies and facilities meet EPA requirements.

The federal government’s Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) has outlined principles for sustainable operations in federal facilities, which range from building design and resilience to operations to solid waste management.

Reducing the waste disposed of in landfills and incineration facilities by recovering, reusing, and recycling materials will ensure a facility’s long-term sustainability and will set a positive environmental example for constituents.
