3 Ways Kemin is Participating in World Cleanup Day

According to the World Bank, the world currently produces 2.01 billion tons of waste each year. And we are projected to create 3.4 billion tons of waste by 2050. In an effort to combat waste, Kemin is participating in World Cleanup Day on September 20.

World Cleanup Day’s mission is to empower individuals, communities, organizations, and governments in driving sustainable change in waste management practices through collective action.  While World Cleanup Day isn’t widely known in the United States, it is a global movement that has been recognized by the United Nations.

As a global company, Kemin is using World Cleanup Day to share a few tips on how organizations can reduce and properly dispose of waste. 

3. Regularly Scheduled Cleanup Days

During regularly scheduled safety training, Kemin employees are encouraged to take time out of their schedule to clean their workspaces. Having a tidy workspace that is well-organized makes our labs, manufacturing facilities, and offices a safer and more efficient place to work.

Team members are encouraged to sort through any clutter in their area and recycle as much as possible. Kemin’s Environmental Health and Safety team coordinates the safe disposal of any universal waste, such as batteries or light bulbs, that is collected.
