What is the waste industrys biggest weakness?
Honestly, I don’t see any industry weakness. I only see opportunities and challenges. We are positioned to continuing playing a role in responding to the most dominant environmental concern today, climate change, by continuing to improve on the production efficiencies of waste-based-energy and finding opportunities in new uses for tomorrow. We will continue the challenge and opportunities in helping increase recycling participation rates, recognizing that continued success may require behavioral changes by consumers, retailers and manufacturers that we cannot always impact. And we will continue the challenge and opportunities of bringing innovation and new and better technology to ensure that today’s modern landfills will become even safer and more environmentally protective. One of our immediate challenges is getting people to understand that we’re the good guys, that we are part of the solution for our environmental concerns – not the problem. We’re working on that.
