Zero Waste-to-Landfill FAQ

What is zero waste-to-landfill?

Zero waste-to-landfill is a waste management approach that ensures no waste is sent to landfills. Instead, waste is diverted through resource reuse, recycling, and recovery methods such as wastewater treatment, total product recycling, and waste-to-energy or alternative engineered fuel (AEF) processing, respectively.

What is zero waste and the difference between zero waste and zero waste-to-landfill?

Zero waste is a broad waste management philosophy that aims to eliminate waste generation entirely. Although it is an admirable goal, it’s one that isn’t realistic today due to technological limitations, and perhaps more importantly, modern waste habits and ideologies. Zero waste-to-landfill on the other hand, focuses specifically on preventing waste from being landfilled. While both rely on and drive circular economy principles, zero waste-to-landfill aims to prevent most waste and recognizes that some waste is unavoidable and therefore must be diverted through sustainable disposal methods.

Why is landfill waste bad for the environment?

Landfill waste contributes to environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions (methane), soil and water contamination, and loss of valuable resources—which leads to increased virgin resource extraction, creating more pollution and environmental disruption. Additionally, landfills take up significant land space, must continually grow, and can negatively impact surrounding ecosystems and communities.

What is landfill diversion?

Landfill diversion refers to the process of redirecting waste from landfills through alternative methods such as reuse, recycling, composting, fuel creation, or energy recovery. The goal is to minimize landfill dependency and promote resource recovery.

What are the benefits of zero waste-to-landfill?

Zero waste-to-landfill supports both businesses and communities in a variety of ways, but some of its most obvious benefits include:

  • Environmental Protection: Zero waste-to-landfill protects the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, waste pollution, and resource depletion.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Zero waste-to-landfill keeps businesses and municipalities compliant by managing evolving policies and permits, meeting regulatory requirements, and avoiding fines and penalties.
  • Financial Resilience: Zero waste-to-landfill builds financial resilience by avoiding landfill tipping fees, minimizing waste liability-related costs, and maximizing opportunities for environmental grants and circular revenue streams.
  • Brand Reputation: Zero waste-to-landfill enhances brand reputation by securely managing risky waste, demonstrating responsible operations, and positioning businesses as future-facing leaders who are committed to bettering the lives of the people they serve and the planet they share.
What is an example of zero waste-to-landfill?

Zero waste-to-landfill programs take many forms, but one example of it in action could look like a manufacturing facility that implements a comprehensive waste management program by recycling all eligible materials, composting organic waste, and converting non-recyclable materials into alternative fuel for energy generation instead of landfilling.

How do you achieve zero waste-to-landfill?

Achieving zero waste-to-landfill is a unique journey for every business and community. While the process differs greatly across customers, it always requires a strategic, multi-faceted approach that can sometimes be boiled down to a few common steps:

  1. Perform a waste audit to identify and categorize waste streams and diversion opportunities.
  2. Develop in-house reduction, reuse, recycling and composting programs to maximize unaided efforts.
  3. Collaborate with a sustainable waste management company to streamline those efforts and bring them to the next level of performance.
  4. Utilize advanced technology and capabilities through those partnerships to create fuel or energy from waste that cannot be reduced, reused, recycled to further drive sustainability efforts and circularity.
  5. Reinforce zero waste-to-landfill strategies by engaging with employees, collecting feedback, and training them to properly sort waste, embrace greener processes, and foster a culture of adaptability and continuous improvement.
  6. Analyze zero waste-to-landfill progress to recognize and celebrate successes, identify shortcomings and growth opportunities, and refine strategies to best address them.
  7. Repeat the cycle until zero waste-to-landfill is achieved and all sustainability goals are met.
