SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT
Shea Cunningham of BALANCEDAPPROACH was contracted to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its internal waste management processes and procedures at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, and provide recommendations for bringing the company into compliance with AB 1826 and support the company’s zero waste goals.
As of January 1, 2017, CA Assembly Bill (AB) 1826 mandates that businesses producing more than four (4) cubic yards of organics shall arrange for organics recycling service. By California state law, all organic materials (including food waste, landscape trimmings, non-hazardous wood waste and food-soiled paper waste) must be diverted from the landfill. Disposal options include composting, repurposing (turned into other usable products such as livestock feed), anaerobic digestion (for bio-gas) or enzymatic digestion (diverted into waste water system).
Ms. Cunningham and her team conducted a thorough on-site assessment of Sony Pictures Entertainment located in Culver City and created a 40-point, Four Phase Action Plan with a summary of observations and recommendations for (1) Establishing an Organics Segregation Program; (2) Reducing Landfill Waste and Waste Stream Contamination; and (3) Increasing the Quality of Recyclables at the Sony Pictures. Although this project focused on the three primary material type waste streams, all material type waste streams handled on Sony’s lots were captured and addressed.
The Action Plan is serving as a strategic guide for Sony as they move into the implementation phase.
