Lean Waste Stream: Reducing Material Use and Garbage Using Lean Principles

By Marc Jensen

Although there are many books available on personal efforts to reduce garbage, none exist that focus on business garbage. Filling this need, this book describes how to use garbage analysis as a tool to identify the problems in process flow that produced the garbage. It also explains how to look downstream for options to reuse, repurpose, and recycle garbage to minimize landfill impact and costs. The text includes practical exercises with step-by-step instructions, as well as real-world examples that demonstrate how specific wastes have been dealt with profitably by various organizations.
