ZERO WASTE CHALLENGE

Businesses

 Thousands of businesses across the US  and around the world have embraced Zero Waste.  While some have embarked on the Zero Waste journey in order to fulfill environmental goals or meet shareholder expectations, almost all have appreciated financial savings from rethinking and redesigning their business models to eliminate wasting.

In order to create a Zero Waste Plan for your business, consider these Zero Waste Business Principles from the Grassroots Recycling network:
  1. Commitment to the triple bottom line
  2. Use Precautionary Principle
  3. Zero Waste to landfill or incineration
  4. Responsibility: Take back products and packaging
  5. Buy reused, recycled & composted
  6. Prevent pollution and reduce waste
  7. Highest and best use
  8. Use economic incentives for customers, workers and suppliers
  9. Products or services sold are not wasteful or toxic 
  10. Use non-toxic production, reuse and recycling processes

Businesses can get certified as a Zero Waste Business through Green Business Certification, Inc. (GBCI)'s True Zero Waste Certification.
