摘要：Companies generate waste everyday but do not manage them properly. Waste management is very important for a companies’ profitability. This is because if a company can manage its waste properly, reduction in waste can help the company to reduce its cost. Cost control is an important element in performance management. There are a lot of methods that can be used to manage waste, for example, to dispose the waste properly, recycle or reuse the waste which have residual value, or minimize the waste generated by the companies. Environmental management systems, green supply-chain management, reverse logistics, workforce education and training and Incentive Rewards Programs (IRP), can help companies reduce their waste. The main focus of this paper is to seek the most effective waste management methods that can help the companies to reduce their cost and thus increase their corporate profits.
