About Us
OUR STORY
Praxis Waste Solutions was founded in 2019 in Flagstaff Arizona when Tyler Linner decided to take his masters thesis research at Northern Arizona University into the real world. The company kept 9,150 lbs of material out of the landfill in 2019! Praxis offers professional waste reduction consulting which saves time, materials, and money!
Our Problem
Around the world, businesses, municipalities, and individuals struggle to properly prevent, repurpose, and dispose of waste items. However, with a little help, many common waste items can be turned from a liability into an asset. Everything from education to industrial processes can help your company or organization save money and be a bit friendlier to our Mother Earth.
Our PHILOSOPHY
Praxis Waste Solutions aims to walk in balance with other humans and non-humans on Mother Earth, and to leave her better than we found her. We strive to acknowledge, locate, and understand problems so we can lead the way in equitably ending waste wherever it exists. We analyze production, distribution, and waste systems and ask difficult questions to produce real-world solutions. We believe that solving waste problems must be sustainable environmentally, socially, and economically.
