PBC has implemented a proactive approach to managing paper waste that not only supports sustainability but also delivers measurable cost savings.
Instead of paying for an external paper shredding service, we now collect and shred all paper on-site, before selling it directly to a paper recycling company.
For a school of our size, this change represents a significant reduction in ongoing shredding expenses, while ensuring that all paper is responsibly recycled rather than simply disposed of. The initiative highlights how small operational adjustments can deliver meaningful environmental and financial benefits.
By rethinking everyday processes, PBC continues to demonstrate that sustainability and efficiency can go hand in hand — creating systems that are better for the planet and more cost-effective for the school community.
