" Zero in on Zero Waste - Don't let your Bottom Line go to Waste"

Join us for the First Annual Zero Waste Business 
Conference on Thursday, June 8, 2006, in Anaheim, 
CA.  Zero Waste experts and corporations will 
highlight how businesses have saved money by 
implementing Zero Waste practices in their daily 
operations. This conference is designed to bring 
Orange County businesses, government agencies and 
nonprofits together with knowledgeable experts in 
the field of Zero Waste who can demonstrate how 
to turn a company's waste stream into a profitable resource.

The California Integrated Waste Management Board 
has adopted Zero Waste as one of its seven goals 
in its Strategic Plan. The Urban Environmental 
Accords include Zero Waste as a goal by 2040. The 
GrassRoots Recycling Network highlights Zero 
Waste Businesses as those that divert more than 
90% of their waste from landfill & incineration. 
Many communities in California are adopting Zero 
Waste goals and developing plans to implement 
those goals. Terry Tamminen, Governor 
Schwarzenegger?s Special Assistant on Energy and 
the Environment, has challenged California to achieve Zero Waste by 2025.

Many laws are now being proposed that affect 
local business regulating how and what can be 
disposed, both here and abroad. Businesses can 
position themselves strategically to offer 
products in an environmentally sound way while 
minimizing their cost of production.

The day will be kicked off by our dynamic keynote 
speakers including: Terry Tamminen, Special
Advisor to the Governor on Energy and the 
Environment and former Secretary of CalEPA;
Eiko Risch, Division Manager of Ricoh Electronics 
Inc. (which diverts over 90% of its waste from 
landfills); and Thomas Kiser , President of 
Professional Supply Inc. and member of the Board of Green Cross.
