The numbers are in: Military commissaries surpassed their fiscal 2015 environmental goals for recycling and diverting waste from landfills.
The Defense Commissary Agency achieved an 83 percent recycling efficiency rate, the highest in the agency’s history, said Randy Eller, deputy director of DeCA’s logistics directorate. Along the way, DeCA recycled more than 60,000 tons of cardboard, 1,900 tons of plastic, and more than 108 tons of paper.
