Santa Clara Convention Center Wins 7th Consecutive EPA Award
 For the seventh consecutive year, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) California Integrated Waste Management Board has awarded the Santa Clara Convention Center the WRAP Award for its efforts to reduce, re-use, recycle, and buy recycled. The Convention Center's waste reduction efforts and recycling program reduced waste by 101 tons this past year.
WRAP awards honor businesses for cutting the amount of trash they produce, conserving resources and reducing waste disposal in landfills. This year's honorees have diverted over two million tons of materials from landfills. This diversion results in a significant reduction in green house gas emissions. "It's an honor to be awarded for our part in saving the environment," said Lisa Moreno, Convention Center general manager. "Our Convention Center is an example of what we all can do if we make it a priority," said Moreno.
Since 2002, the Convention Center's waste reduction program has recycled paper products, cardboard, glass and aluminum. ARAMARK, the Convention Center's in-house caterer, adds to the effort by contributing leftover food to the Second Harvest Food Bank.
