I just wanted to post a quick note to share some recent updates on iReuse.

Thanks to our sales and consultant team, our total Waste Reduction square footage under iReuse management is now over 2.5 million, spanning 21 client buildings.  Tauni Swenson is a new member of our Waste Reduction team, and will be leading the waste reduction efforts for these new locations.  She comes to us with experience helping the Gap and William Sonoma develop and implement waste reduction programs, along with an MBA in sustainability from the Presidio School of Management.

On other waste reduction news, Mike Megremis, Waste Reduction consultant, has been working with Autodesk for the last 6+ months. As a result of his efforts and staff at Autodesk, we are starting to see real results for our waste reduction efforts there.  We will provide a case study when the numbers are in.

iReuse for Hospitality,

I am also excited to announce the launch of two new programs at iReuse.  The first is iReuse for Hospitality being managed by Jeff Slye who has years of experience in the hospitality sector working with many hotels to go green and save green.  Our first big marketing effort for this program occurred on March 26th, an event hosted by Turner Construction, iReuse, and others and organized by Carter Coleman of iReuse. The event was a great success and a lot of valuable resources and information for our hospitality clients to improve their efficiency.  Jeff spoke specifically about ROI for hotels by implementing sustainability practices which was a hot topic given the current economy.  Hotels were very interested to learn how their waste practices, laundry practices, energy practices, and other operational practices could be altered to save a tremendous amount of money and save the planet.

iReuse for Wineries and Convention Centers

We are also happy to announce a new program for wineries and convention centers being managed by Tami Turner.  Tami has been in the wine business and working with convention centers for several years, and also has her MBA in Sustainability.

I think that is the main news I have for now.  We have a lot more in the hopper so stay tuned.

Thanks,

Ken
