14 TENANTS RECOGNIZED FOR SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES Klaus Gastager (is) owner of Hofbrauhaus, a German microbrewery and restaurant with live entertainment in Rosemont. Here's how Gastager, who immigrated from Munich 10 years ago, calculates his green expenses: "It's zero investment." His first venue in Las Vegas went from paying $18,000 a year for trash disposal to $7,000 a year by recycling. He implemented the same recycling practices when he opened his Rosemont location about nine months ago and is seeing similar savings. The grain left over from his brewery is used as compost, donated to local farms as pig feed. Gastager compared waste policies in Munich to Chicago's: Germans pay triple the amount Americans pay for waste management. If they don't separate their trash and recyclables, the waste haulers just ignore the bins, leaving you to deal with the overflow and stink. Americans have it cheap and easy, "so people don't really care," he said. He was surprised to discover that a lot of Americans don't know how to recycle, since it's a daily routine for people in Germany otherwise it actually costs them, he said.

15 This Municipal Sustainability Program saw a 51% Diversion Rate in 2013 MB Financial Park in Rosemont diverted over 440 tons of recyclables, food scraps and spent grain, a.k.a. cattle feed!
