EnviroStars
Program
|
 |
Nationally
recognized, the EnviroStars Program certifies businesses
that protect the environment by reducing, recycling,
and properly managing hazardous waste. The EnviroStars
program was created in King County in 1995 as a service
of the Local Hazardous Waste Management Program, King
County Department of Natural Resources & Parks,
and has expanded to additional counties in the Puget
Sound area, including Jefferson, Kitsap, Pierce, and
Whatcom counties. Puget Soundkeeper Alliance (PSA),
joined in establishing the EnviroStars Co-op in order
to support the spread of EnviroStars in the Puget
Sound region. The partnership and affiliation among
the different county-specific EnfiroStars programs
and PSA are referred to as the EnviroStars Cooperative
(Co-op).
The
goal of the EnviroStars Program is to give businesses
incentives and recognition for reducing hazardous
waste, while giving consumers an objective way to
identify environmentally responsible businesses. To
