INTRODUCING. . .The Partners
The Partnership for the Environment is one of the most effective public-private partnerships in Hawaii—business and government working together to reduce waste.

Hawaii's environment is precious to all of us, and the members of the Partnership have demonstrated year after year their commitment to reduce waste, increase recycling and help keep Hawaii paradise. The value of the Partnership is the partners themselves—local business leaders willing to offer their time and expertise to help other island businesses through the challenges of setting up recycling programs.

The growth of the Partnership, now 50 leaders strong, is evidence of our business community's ongoing commitment to recycling and waste reduction. They provide success stories that testify to the fact that recycling is good for business, as well as our environment.
—Mayor Jeremy Harris
