From internet forums you get a good idea of the workshops at the Congress and what is on the minds of EHS professionals:
I'll kick off with the fact that we use a shredding machine to shred up to 70% of our waste Cardboard for use as a parts packaging material - benefits and points of interest?
1) We have eliminated the need (and cost) to buy specialist materials for packing our product.
2) We have significantly reduced the amount of waste leaving our facility as waste.
3) We have EPA permission to shred waste card from other group sites
4) We measure the material produced and capture within our waste metrics
5) We have encouraged some 3rd party packers to adopt a similar approach
6) Our client fully supports it
7) No related quality issues or negative feedback in 8+ years of use within world wide parts distribution operation
8) Positive comments received indicated the shred is better than the previous 'specialist' material.
A potential easy 'win/win' if your processes includes 'pack out' of finished product
