88 percent used recycling bin in the grey\/green condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThus, color can affect the user and consequently trigger the associated desired behavior.<\/p>\n
Finally, color can be an important visual cue for communicating a message regarding what the container is designed to be used for. \u00a0In a branding context, color is often noted as offering \u201can instantaneous method for conveying meaning and message without words.\u201d<\/p>\n
The working group gathered information about color associations adopted in curbside collection programs across the country. It has been noted that green is the most commonly adopted color used for organics collection containers.<\/p>\n
In an another collective effort to support sustainability, waste reduction and zero waste initiatives in the workplace, Keep America Beautiful, USCC and Kimberly-Clark Professional teamed up in 2016 to introduce a free “Guide to Workplace Composting.” The guide provides step-by-step instructions and resources to help office buildings, manufacturing facilities, hotels, hospitals, universities and other workplaces divert organic matter \u2013 such as food scraps, used paper towels, coffee grounds and coffee filters \u2013 from landfills through composting.<\/p>\n
