The Waste Hierarchy
Sustainable Solutions 4 Waste Road to Zero Waste
RETHINK/REDESIGN
We will help your business create a systemic change with the current waste practices and move towards a closed loop/circular waste model. This involves the redesigning of current processes to avoid wasteful/needless consumption.
REFUSE
We will create a program that focuses on the reduction of "one time use" products in the workplace.
REDUCE
Our program focuses on implementing new programs for your business that aim at reducing the quantity of resources, products, packaging, and materials.
RE-USE
We will work with your company to find the products or components that can be re-used for the same or similar purpose for which they were conceived.
RECYCLE & COMPOST
We will work with our network of vendors to create a robust recycling program from the waste streams so they can be processed into new materials.
RESPONSIBLE DISPOSAL
We will help recycle any materials leftover after the actions above. This may include using energy recovery by reprocessing materials to be used as fuels or other means to generate energy.
What is Zero Waste?
ZERO WASTE is the conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of all products, packaging, and materials with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health.
