Sustainable materials management refers to the procurement, use and end-of-life management of products and by-products. Not only can such management of resources help a company's bottom-line, it can build customer loyalty, improve employee retention, reduce certain types of business risks, minimize the environmental footprint of a business, and increase share holder value.
