The Postal Service is committed to operating in a way that protects the environment. We’re developing sustainable best practices that enable us to use resources in ways that minimize impacts on the environment — reducing the consumption of resources at rates that don’t exceed the capacity of our ecosystem to replenish them. We’re eliminating waste and improving the efficiency and productivity of these resources.
The Sustainability department at USPS is a dedicated team that develops programs and policies as well as ensures environmental laws and regulations are followed at facilities across the organization.
