Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Miller Truck Lines has announced the launch of its corporate sustainability and industrial services division, Miller Environmental Transfer (MET), also based in Tulsa.

MET has begun fulfilling extensive recycling commitments, as well as waste-to-energy and zero-landfill initiatives for several Fortune 500 companies, according to a news release from its parent company.

Todd Ray, president of MET, says “Consumers’ expectations are changing. They absolutely want value but desire to do business with environmentally responsible companies. The larger companies are recognizing this shift in purchasing decisions and changing how they manage their waste streams. They are aligning with sustainability goals and improving their treatment of the environment. Corporations are discovering that they can reduce waste, recycle more and use remaining items to create energy to power homes and businesses. This synergy is a win-win for everyone.”

MET was established in 2014 as a collaborative effort between the Miller family and Todd Ray. The company says it chose to enter the market quietly, testing its systems and processes for reducing industrial waste.

The company’s team includes experts in all types of waste, including nonhazardous and hazardous, best practices for recycling and solutions for industrial waste that is not recyclable.

MET says it currently provides services in 10 states with plans to expand extensively by the end of 2016. In 2015 alone, the company transported 275 million pounds of material for recycling, waste-to-energy and beneficial reuse.

“The big box stores and corporations now have report cards that include measuring efforts to reduce their environmental impact,” Ray says. “They are recognizing that recycling not only attracts more customers but that their investment in recycling will actually pay for itself.

“Another substantial influence is the millennial generation,” he continues. “They are being taught at a much younger age than our generation about valuing the environment. They expect to see this value in their products and the companies who make them and are the largest employed demographic.  It is safe to say that a new culture is evolving around being environmentally sound.”
