    <link>http://www.greenbiz.com/feed/greenbiz/resource-efficiency</link>
    <description>Resources wasted equals profits lost. Whether that waste comes in the form of a pile of unusable metal scrap on the assembly line or as excess heat in a data center, it is an inefficiency in business operations, and where there are inefficiencies, there is room for improvement. In this section, we explore the ways that companies are addressing waste through lean manufacturing, environmental management systems and other processes, as well as how companies are reporting their progress to customers and regulators.</description>
