The “Recycling Industry Benchmarking and Performance Measurement” report recently released by the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance indicates that approximately 60 percent of participating companies exhibited good to superior performance in their Z score, a common measure of a business’s ability to survive.
AMPros Corp. conducted the study on which the report was based with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Individual participating companies were given detailed confidential assessments of their financial and operational performance and the information was consolidated into industry benchmark statistics. The study builds on the U.S. EPA’s Recycling Economic Information study that also demonstrates the importance of reuse and recycling businesses to the nation’s economy by evaluating their economic impacts.
