GreenBiz published an interview with Waste Management CEO, David Steiner Monday.

Steiner admits that Waste Management’s industrial customers are driving changes at his company.  The goal now is, not only the efficient disposal of waste, but getting value out of waste.

“Our larger industrial customers have been driving the change [toward zero waste]. They are motivated for environmental and for business reasons. Walmart was one of the first. They put out 450,000 pounds of trash a day. They are looking for innovative ways to reduce costs and recognized the potential value in their waste.”
