Zero Waste & Us
What is Zero Waste?
Zero waste is the shorthand term for zero-waste-to-landfill. Essentially, the goal is to divert all waste from being sent to a landfill. This is achieved through a simple four step process.
- Reducing the amount of materials consumed
- Reusing and repurpose any consumed materials including any waste generated
- Recycling and composting materials (including at times anaerobic digestion)
- And finally recovering energy from what remains
In the rare case that materials cannot (or should not due to safety reasons) be disposed of or repurposed using a zero waste program, then our team will assist with securely processing their disposal using our vast network of partners, facilities, and relationships.
Why do it
Why should you address waste?
There are many new collection methods, different waste classifications and/or new processes in the marketplace to capture and reduce waste costs that many companies are unaware of. We do not seek to change the service of your existing service providers, recycling companies and/or dump sites. We simply investigate the methodology and other important cost factors. We make recommendations, negotiate on your organization’s behalf, and present your team with successful, cost-effective options. GSCM specialize assisting companies who are environmentally conscience in taking the organizations to zero waste footprint.
