Accessible description of image that shows current and future waste minimization projects:

Plants begin their efforts with easier to handle projects such as recycling scrap metal, paper and cardboard, batteries and electronics, oils and coolants, and bottles and cans. However, when considering the more difficult tasks such as chemical substitution, absorbent recycling, and rental bag reduction, many plants claim to have plans to begin to accomplish these in the future and less are actually implementing those tasks currently.
