San Benito County and the San Benito County Integrated Waste Management recently partnered with the California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) to create an outreach video promoting the Central Coast Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) and local, sustainability-focused businesses that prevent, reduce, reuse, or recycle waste materials through manufacturing or another value-added process.
The Central Coast RMDZ offers loans through CalRecycle for manufacturers engaged in sustainable business practices in addition to local technical assistance. Through the RMDZ program, San Benito County is engaging and encouraging regenerative, inventive business practices. Recycling mitigates waste created by residents and producers. These resources allow manufacturers to find new ways to recycle, engage with other businesses, and support their communities.
The video funded by San Benito County Integrated Waste Management featured San Benito County Chamber of Commerce board chairman Shawn Herrera, Granite Rock marketing services manager Keith Severson, Fireclay Tile environmental health and safety director David Galaviz, and Integrated Waste manager Celina Stotler.
