Minnesota Waste Wise Leader Award

The Minnesota Waste Wise Leader award is given to Minnesota Waste Wise members who have shown true leadership in sustainable business practices including waste reduction, recycling, energy efficiency, purchasing and employee involvement.

Leader Award winners are chosen once a year by a panel of judges comprised of the Minnesota Waste Wise Board of Directors, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce staff, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency staff, and past award winners. The panel is asked to evaluate applications and vote for those members that demonstrate true leadership in waste reduction and sustainable business practices.

Recipients of the Leader Award serve as environmental role models for their community and the Minnesota Waste Wise program. They receive an official plaque and their story is highlighted in the Waste Wise quarterly newsletter, Waste Notes, and in the local press.
