veryone knows it’s good for the
environment to divert materials
from landfills that can be reused
again or composted — and many of
us already recycle at home. But, did
you know that in 2016 the state of
Minnesota mandated that all public
entities, commercial buildings and
sports facilities recycle at least three
types of materials – such as paper,
plastic, glass, metal and/or organics?

H.B. FULLER
H.B. Fuller is a global innovator with
its roots in adhesives. As part of
their commitment to improve the
lives of people around the world,
H.B. Fuller took on the challenge
to reduce the amount of materials
leaving their facilities as trash. The
waste reduction initiative began
in 2016 when they first met with
BizRecycling’s Recycling Expert,
Minnesota Waste Wise, to identify
opportunities for improved recycling
and waste diversion, and continues
today as they work to improve their
organics recycling collection.
H.B. Fuller implemented organics
recycling to significantly reduce the
amount of material leaving their
facilities as trash. They used their
BizRecycling grant to purchase
bins, signs, certified compostable
products, and bin liners. “This is a
project we were very committed to
and it was nice to learn we could
start without spending a bunch of
money,” commented Adam Senart,
with Facilities Management who
has led the recycling initiatives. H.B.
Fuller then added organics recycling
