Waste Diversion and Zero Waste

Our philosophy is that waste equals lost profit. We utilize our proven process to understand the waste at your facility, develop a waste diversion roadmap, find new outlets for difficult-to-manage waste streams, and create procedures to ensure correct waste handling practices. 

Most importantly we help our clients eliminate waste generation at the source by redesigning processes in the facility. Waste minimization is the best approach to achieve zero waste to landfill goals as well as to provide significant cost savings.

Life cycle assessment and Product carbon footprint

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) serves as a basis for developing a baseline of environmental impacts, identifying environmental hotspots, and as a decision-making tool to enhance the new product development process. 

• A Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) utilizes LCA methodology to quantify all the GHG emissions generated throughout a product's life cycle from raw material extraction and manufacturing to transportation, usage, and disposal.
