Define and Reach Your Zero Waste Goal with SUMAC Zero Waste Certification

The path to zero waste is both an environmental goal and a business opportunity that generates cost savings, improves reputation, and contributes to a circular economy. At SUMAC we help organizations define their zero waste goals and achieve them through our exclusive Zero Waste certification program.

‍

What is the Zero Waste Goal?

‍

Zero Waste is a philosophy and a measurable goal that seeks to eliminate the generation of waste sent to landfill or incineration. The most widely accepted definition — used by the Zero Waste International Alliance (ZWIA) — defines Zero Waste as diverting 90% or more of generated waste from landfill through reduction, reuse, and recycling.

The SUMAC Zero Waste Certification Program

SUMAC has developed an exclusive Zero Waste certification program that accompanies organizations throughout their journey from initial diagnostic to achieving and maintaining Zero Waste certification. The process includes:

• Waste diagnostic: detailed characterization of generated waste streams and current management practices.
• Waste Management Plan: customized strategy to reach the Zero Waste goal.
• Implementation support: accompaniment in implementing reduction, reuse, and recycling measures.
• Monitoring and reporting: continuous tracking of progress and transparent reporting of results.
• SUMAC Zero Waste certification: official recognition of the organization's commitment and achievement.
