From George Mokray:

Proving that smart environmental policies can actually save corporations money, a large grocery chain in Virginia is now converting food waste to compost. Ukrop's Super Markets Inc is making a double profit, selling the compost to customers, while saving $30 for each ton of food waste that doesn't go to the landfill. http://www.organicconsumers.org/supermarket/ukrop_compost.cfm

Gradually companies are figuring out that it makes no sense to pay to get rid of the things that you've paid to get, when the whole idea of business is to sell them.
