CRD 2010 EcoStar Waste Reduction Winner Is Archipelago Marine Research Ltd

Founded in 1979, Archipelago Marine Research specialized in fish monitoring, but also marine environmental assessment. The Archipelago Sustainability Initiative (ASI) was formed in 2003 in order to address the growing concerns about the waste stream generated by Archipelago employees. The goal of ASI is to provide Archipelago with a holistic, cyclical view of the business model that embodies a truly sustainable and socially responsible business operation. Since 2008 Archipelago has diverted from the landfill 12 dumpsters of Styrofoam, 10 dumpsters of soft plastics, 2 dumpsters of flattened cartons, 11 lbs of foil wrappers, 300 lbs of batteries, 4,800 lbs of compostable materials over 4 years, and 947 lbs of waste and recyclables collected as part of the TD Shoreline Cleanup. The vision by 2012 for Archipelago is to have a zero waste environment.
