Gauging Our EHS Sustainability Performance
Amtrak EHS Annual Report 2010 | 28
Recycling data for 2010 show a significant increase in the amount of non-industrial
materials recycled compared to the last two years. This is due, in part, to
continuing efforts to expand the number of stations and other facilities that recycle
non-industrial materials, in addition to the implementation of tracking
mechanisms—including the EHS Information System (EIS)— which is designed to
better track and measure progress in this area. A goal for this calendar year is to
institute routine reporting from multiple facilities using the EIS.
*Includes glass, plastic, aluminum, paper, and cardboard collected at Amtrak facilities, including
materials collected in the on-board recycling program.
**Includes mixed paper and cardboard from yards and offices, and shredded paper from multiple
locations.
