Claims Zero Waste to Landfill

Commitment

The source claims the manufacturing facility diverts all (or nearly all) waste from landfill — a facility claim, certifiable under TRUE.

You might see it written as: zero waste · zero waste to landfill · landfill free manufacturing

Speaks to: Circular economy · Ecosystem health

Medium greenwash risk

Meaningful only with supporting detail — check scope and dates.

TRUE certification turns this from marketing into verified fact.

What backs it up

  • Organizational Sustainability Commitment

    Must be at least: Manufacturer declared

    Check it states: Facility Scope, Diversion Rate, Verification

    Waste-to-energy is often counted as diversion — ask how incineration is treated.

  • GreenCircle Certified Certificate

    Must be at least: Third-party verified

    Check it states: Certificate Number, Verified Attribute, Attribute Value, Certified Scope, Valid Until

    Only supports this claim when verified_attribute is Waste Diversion from Landfill.

    This is a facility-level verification with a stated diversion percentage — record the percentage rather than rounding up to 'zero waste'.
