| In the United States manufacturing | | | | do we expect the waste hauler, who is |
| accounts for a large percentage of the | | | | trying to grow their business, to come |

| of manufacturing; it is a fact. In order | | | | It is not going to happen! |
| to produce the products that we need, | | | | The good news is that an answer has been |
| manufacturers inherently produce large | | | | developed -- not by the hauler, but |
| amounts of waste. As a result, | | | | rather by the professional research and |
| manufacturing produces the largest | | | | development within the manufacturing |
| percentage of the waste haulers profits. | | | | industry and a distribution company |
| This is also a fact. | | | | right here in the United States who |
| Manufacturers are in a constant battle | | | | distribute a high efficiency waste |
| to comply with county, state and federal | | | | handling machine called an Enviro Waste |
| guidelines and, at the same time, | | | | Systems 7700 Pulverizer. In addition, |
| attempt to keep the impact of waste | | | | they have developed a program that gives |
| hauling costs to their bottom line as | | | | manufactures an opportunity to use their |
| low as possible. In recent years the | | | | machine to use at NO cost AND pays them |
| best solution has been to be paid a | | | | for their waste. So instead of the costs |
| percentage of your hauling cost back for | | | | of waste hauling having a negative |

| satisfactory solution. The current | | | | and the environment, manufacturers can |
| recycling process, as good as it is for | | | | have a positive effect on their bottom |
| the environment and a must-do first | | | | line profits and the environment by |

| Manufacturers on average can only | | | | may not have heard of this company or |
| separate ten percent of their waste | | | | its program because the haulers, you |
| stream to recyclables. This is not the | | | | remember, the people we asked to help |
| silver bullet to cost reduction that the | | | | with this problem, have done every thing |
| manufacturers have been seeking. So | | | | in their power to keep this from you. I |
| questions need to be asked: What about | | | | guess we shouldn't blame them for |
| the cost of hauling the ninety percent | | | | wanting to protect their massive profits |
| of manufacturer's waste that can not be | | | | from the biggest threat they have ever |
| recycled? How do we reduce the cost and | | | | faced. |
| environmental impact of waste? These | | | | But the fact still remains that we, the |
| have been the questions on the minds of | | | | manufacturing industry, have had to |
| manufacturers and environmentalists for | | | | answer the questions ourselves because |
| years. | | | | the waste haulers would not. I |
| Manufacturers have been asking the waste | | | | personally have a lot more trust in the |
| haulers for the answers. I truly believe | | | | ingenuity and can-do attitude of the |
| that we have been asking these questions | | | | manufacturing industry to solve this and |
| in vain. The waste haulers are a | | | | many other challenges that face them |
| business like any other - they need to | | | | rather than waiting for the waste |
| make profits from their business of | | | | haulers to help us. I recently watched |
| hauling our waste. If, as a | | | | a commercial for a well known car |
| manufacturer, you were asked by your | | | | manufacturer that focused on the DUH |
| customers to develop a way for them to | | | | principle. That seems to fit quite well |
| use less of your product, how motivated | | | | here. After all, isn't it better to be |
| would you be to develop that for them? | | | | paid for waste rather than wasting your |
| What would be the implications to your | | | | money paying for its removal? DUH! |
| business and your profits? So, why then | | | | |
