Pursuing Zero Waste to Landfill for Manufacturing

According to the most recent data from the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the recycling and composting rate in the U.S. is 32%¹. A waste diversion rate is the percentage of waste that is recycled or reused instead of being sent to a landfill or incinerator. Improving this diversion rate is an achievable goal. To receive Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) validation, your organization has to calculate its waste diversion rate.

The more waste that ends up in a landfill, the more harm may be done to our environment.

The Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) validation program by UL Solutions focuses on helping organizations demonstrate the reduced amount of waste they contribute to the environment and communicate their waste diversion efforts. Get an understanding of the seven steps that help you achieve your zero waste to landfill goal.
