Antarctica
Best Recycling has been serving the needs of the US Antarctic program since 1995. We are responsible for adding numerous new technologies to their program that have served to reduce their shipping costs and enhance the quality of their environment.
The US Antarctic treaty mandates that ALL US generated waste be removed from the Antarctic continent.
Best created and implemented numerous programmatic, systematic and technological enhancements through the years that have reduced waste, reduced shipping costs and enhanced operations. We helped reduce staffing, increased safety and reduced the number of shipped containers which brought money back to the US Antarctic program.
Best is also the originator the the Resale program that auctions items and returns the proceeds back to the program.
There are numerous logistical difficulties, given the harsh Antarctic environment, and we are proud of our efforts to make life easier for the programs waste management staff. They are responsible for educating residents, collecting, sorting , processing and shipping waste on the Antarctic continent.
