Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP)

Waste Reduction Awards Program

The Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP) is administered by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). WRAP provides an opportunity for California businesses and nonprofit organizations to gain public recognition for their outstanding waste reduction efforts and lets the community know your business takes waste reduction seriously. WRAP also provides businesses with examples of successful waste reduction techniques, which they may adopt as their own.

All businesses and private nonprofit organizations with California facilities are encouraged to apply for an annual WRAP award. Each business will be evaluated individually, based upon its own accomplishments. Award winners receive authorization to use the WRAP winner logo with their products, advertising, and business websites to publicize waste reduction efforts.
