26Sustainability
The quality of a state or process that allows it
to be maintained indefinitely the principles of
sustainability integrate three closely
interlinked elements - the environment, the
economy, and the social system - into a system
that can be maintained in a healthy state
indefinitely.
27Why Should You Care?
Sustainability in business builds and maintains
value to the Triple Bottom Line by promoting
Environmental Stewardship, Economic Prosperity
and Social Equity and Well Being.
28A Call to Action
Washington, D.C.-As capital markets around the
world are being rescued by national governments,
global unemployment is reaching record levels and
the labor market is expanding by tens of millions
of workers each year. In the face of the twin
challenges of stagnating economies and climate
change, stimulating green industry is more
important than ever, according to a new
assessment released by the Worldwatch Institute.

29What is a Sustainable Network?
- Requires public/private participation and
investment - Addresses
- Private Immediate economic development
priorities - Public Long-term health and prosperity for all
people and the preservation/restoration of the
planet - Creates knowledge sharing that the private sector
could not do alone - Protects confidentiality of private information
- Creates a system that allows implementation to be
tracked more effectively - Connects entrepreneurial companies to established
companies
30Continuously Renewable Approach to Sustainability

31Waste to Profit Network
- Improve the financial and environmental health
of our region by transforming outputs (wastes) to
industrial inputs (profits)
32What is the Community Network?
By attending this meeting, you are a member of
our Community Network
- Community Network
- Companies meet for a sponsored 1-day workshop to
network with others and identify near-term
opportunities for their three top material
streams. Network facilitators will help to
determine inter network linkages and
opportunities. - Community Network Members are invited to join
the Innovation Network.
33What is the Innovation Network?
- Innovation Network
Companies invest a
membership fee and their time over the course of
a year. In return, companies receive - Connection to technical and project management
assistance to facilitate by-product synergies - Access to research and implementation assistance
on transportation/logistics solutions - Ongoing networking and connections that may lead
to by-product synergies, new product development
and new customer/supplier relationships - Education and development of best practices on
sustainability issues - Links to other Waste to Profit Networks that will
expand the potential for by-product synergies - Formal meetings are held quarterly, with on-going
access to technical support resources
