What is a waste audit? 

Picture
A waste audit is a systematic way to measure the type and quantity of materials that constitute the waste stream. If the waste includes materials of value, you may be paying to dispose of materials that someone might pay you to take!   A waste audit enables you to calculate the real cost of waste in operations.  Disposal fee are often not the greater expense associated with waste.  When waste results from inefficient use of raw materials, the price of the wasted material should be counted. Other associated costs might include energy, labor, space, and time.  

MORA members  includes organizations and business that can be hired to conduct detailed waste audits for your business.  Contact MORA for information.

​Global Impact of Transportation

While transportation offers us many benefits, these come at a price. Truck Locator has compiled just a few of the statistics which show the substantial impact transportation has on a global scale.  
Transportation is making a contribution to the greenhouse gases which are causing global warming. Gases such as methane, carbon and nitrous oxide build up and prevent heat from escaping the atmosphere and thus we see an increase in the temperature of the planet. 13% of global carbon dioxide comes from cars, trucks, aeroplanes and shipping and in the last two decades emissions from transportation has increased by 45%.
