‘Environmental Leader’ honors Lakeshore Recycling Systems

LRS received the distinction for its sustainability-minded business model. The company says it does not operate a landfill. Instead, LRS manually sorts every waste and recycling load separately at its multiple transfer stations. The company then siphons and filters recyclables by passing them through a conveyor system equipped with sorting technology and skilled workers. 

 

“Each year since the inception of the Environmental Leader Product and Project Awards program, the range and quality of the entries has risen,” says Peter Bussey, research analyst with Cambridge, Massachusetts-based LNS Research and judging coordinator for the awards. “The community of providers continues to address the rising demand for cost-effective solutions to address complex environmental, sustainability and energy management challenges. And end-user organizations are becoming more creative in applying the available solutions to get real results.”
