Materials Management
We are also committed to minimizing our material inputs
and maximizing recycling opportunities associated with
our operational footprint and service delivery. Because
the majority of waste created in our offi ces is paper, we
use paper as a proxy for waste reduction. We work with
our vendor to track paper purchased in offi ces and en-
courage paper-saving behaviors with our employees.
Since FY15, increased awareness and changed
behaviors reduced our paper usage by 27%,
normalized to Net Revenue
We are committed to ensuring recycling programs are
implemented in all offi ces where recycling options exist.
We also have several national contracts that offer recy-
cling and take-back programs for non-traditional items,
including printer cartridges, batteries and electronics.
Currently 95% of our offi ces report recycling at
least one waste stream

Recycling at Work Pledge
TRC has committed to the Recycling at Work Pledge
sponsored by Keep America Beautiful. Click here for
more information on the Recycling at Work initiative.
We also continue to explore opportunities to procure
recyclable and/or resource-effi cient materials for fi eld-
work. Communicating these best practices contributes
to reduced environmental impact while maximizing
fi nancial considerations.
Our fi eld projects often involve the use of portable equip-
ment and chemical storage that could potentially impact
the environment if a release were to occur. We recognize
the threats that material spills can pose to communities
and the environment, and we take steps to ensure that
good management practices are employed to avoid
these incidents. TRC had no reportable spills in FY18.
