What is a Zero Waste Certification?
Zero Waste Certification recognizes businesses that divert at least 80% of their waste from landfills and incinerators through sustainable practices like recycling, composting, and reusing materials.
How do I know if my business qualifies?
If your business is actively reducing waste, recycling, or exploring more sustainable operations, you're likely eligible. We’ll guide you based on where you are now—small steps or big wins.
What’s the difference between Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum?
Each certification level reflects your landfill diversion rate and commitment to sustainability. The more you divert, the higher you climb—from Bronze (foundational) to Platinum (industry-leading).
How long does the certification process take?
Most businesses complete certification in 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the size of your operation and how complete your documentation is. We support you every step of the way.
What do I need to provide to get certified?
You'll submit documentation of your waste management practices—things like audits, diversion data, and policies. We’ll review and help you strengthen anything that’s missing.
What are the business benefits of going Zero Waste?
Zero Waste practices lower disposal costs, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen your brand’s reputation. Many businesses also attract eco-conscious customers and enjoy competitive advantages.
How much does certification cost?
Pricing depends on your business size and needs. We offer affordable options for small businesses and tailored plans for larger operations.
