Upstream Value Proposition

Upstream is a full service, ISO 14001-certified, special services division of Waste Management, that provides a complete range of sustainable and cost-effective environmental solutions.

Upstream manages all aspects of your environmental program, or project, providing the green management options, full regulatory compliance and the use of "best practices" to drive waste reduction, material recycling, resource efficiency and bottom-line value.

Upstream has saved its customers more than $50 million by using innovative programs, techniques and technologies.

Upstream utilizes a professional supply chain management team and a network of more than 2,000 third-party vendor-partners throughout the United States and Canada to provide a comprehensive, customized service package.

Our experienced environmental, health and safety team works with each Upstream program manager to assess the work site and create procedures to ensure a safe, efficient and compliant work environment.

Upstream's proprietary Streamline enterprise management software is used to manage and document all aspects of every transaction in one central location. Your data is accessible 24/7/365 through a secure Internet portal, so customized reports are at your fingertips

Unlike consultants and brokers, Upstream manages the entire value chain, from initial review to program planning, implementation, on-going program management and potential financing for system upgrades. No one else can offer this type of reliable, data-driven value that optimizes costs and maximizes the efficiency of your business.
