Turn Waste into Profit. Reduce Risk. Strengthen Your Operations.
Waste is one of the most overlooked drivers of lost profit in manufacturing and operations. Every spill, rejected product, misplaced material, and overfilled dumpster represents lost value, increased risk, and unnecessary cost.
Sustainable Solutions Corporation (SSC) Waste Diversion Virtual Training shows your team exactly how to capture that lost value without disrupting operations or adding travel costs.
High-Level Training Overview
Join an expert-led, 8-week virtual training program that equips manufacturers with the resources and tools to:
Track and measure waste effectively
Reduce waste at the source and minimize generation
Identify outlets for hard-to-manage waste streams
Develop a zero waste roadmap
Implement a successful waste diversion program
How the Training Works
Our Waste Diversion Virtual Training is delivered by mechanical and chemical engineers with deep industrial expertise. SSC customizes each session to your industry and goals, with flexible session numbers, length, and cadence. Typically, the training follows the cadence below:

Virtual, Expert-Led Training Sessions
Interactive 90-minute sessions built for engagement and collaborative learning.
Zero Waste Roadmap Workbook
Designed to reinforce weekly training and guide the development of your Zero Waste Roadmap step by step.
Supplemental Learning Tools
Reference materials that simplify complex topics and support learning throughout the training.
Consolidated Resources Page
A central hub where participants can access all training materials—workbook, slide decks, tools, and session recordings.
Post-Training Quiz and Certificate
Following the training, participants can complete a post-training quiz to earn a certificate of completion.
Who This Training Is Built For—and the Value It Delivers
Who Typically Attends
We train teams, not just one “sustainability champion.”
Many programs rely on a single person to drive change across an entire site. SSC takes a different approach: we train cross-functional teams so knowledge spreads faster and adoption is stronger. While anyone from your organization can participate, typical attendees include:
Environmental Health & Safety (EHS)
Sustainability & ESG Leaders
Environmental Engineers
Compliance Directors
Plant Managers
Production Managers
Sourcing, Procurement, and Planning Managers
What Participants are Saying
“The training started with the fundamentals and connected every concept to real-world situations, providing clear, actionable examples. It made the material not just understandable, but immediately applicable to our daily operations.”
Cathryn, Aerospace Service Company
“Each class was thoughtfully planned with clear, informative slides that kept the sessions engaging and fast-paced. The presenter’s expertise and delivery ensured sessions held attention throughout, making the training both efficient and impactful.”
Jared, Automobile Manufacturing Company
“I have to admit that the savings in getting the virtual training cannot be denied. Avoiding travel minimized disruption to my work schedule, and I was able to focus on the training and learn as much as possible. The workbook helped me think about how I can apply the concepts to our site.”
Leslie, Chemical Manufacturing Company

The SSC Difference: Practical Training with Proven ROI
The Sustainable Solutions Training Center delivers trainings that equip entire teams with industry-specific tools so knowledge scales quickly and results happen faster. Backed by 25+ years of experience, we teach a proven process that has helped clients uncover millions in cost savings.
What Sets Us Apart
Expert-led Training Built for Operations
Our programs are delivered by experienced mechanical and chemical engineers with deep expertise in industrial operations, products, and processes—not generic sustainability trainers.
Practical Tools. Real Results. No Fluff.
We don’t teach theory. We deliver actionable solutions, proven tools, and clear next steps your team can implement immediately.
Customized to Your Industry and Goals
We tailor every training to your sector and operational constraints, so the content is relevant and directly applicable.
We Train Teams, not Just One “Sustainability Champion”
Most programs train a single person and expect them to drive change alone. We train your full team so knowledge scales fast, adoption is stronger, and results happen sooner.
A Proven Process With A Track Record Of Measurable Savings
For 25+ years, we’ve helped clients uncover millions of dollars in cost savings through our Operation Zero Waste proven process. More importantly, we teach the repeatable process so your team can identify and capture those savings again and again.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! Because the training is delivered virtually, it’s accessible for global teams and can be scheduled to accommodate different regions and time zones.
-
Trainings are delivered in English. However, we can support multilingual teams through our translation partner who can provide live interpretation and/or translated recordings and materials.
-
Yes—and the value goes well beyond short-term savings. This program reduces disposal and waste management costs while also lowering operational risk, strengthening compliance, and improving safety. The long-term lifecycle value typically outweighs the upfront investment.
-
Disposal management is only part of the equation. This training helps reduce the amount of waste generated in the first place, improve segregation, and prevent contamination—resulting in lower disposal costs and fewer high-risk waste handling scenarios over time (especially for hazardous streams).
-
That’s exactly what the program is designed to solve. The training is delivered virtually to minimize disruption, and sessions are recorded so participants can watch on demand if they can’t attend live. We also provide practical tools, repeatable systems, and clear workflows that simplify waste handling and compliance—reducing the ongoing workload over time instead of adding to it.
-
No—this training is built to reduce disruption. It strengthens controls and reduces uncertainty by improving material flow, waste tracking, and outlet selection. Less hazardous material exposure and fewer handling errors lead to fewer regulatory incidents and a more predictable operation.
-
By applying waste minimization and source reduction techniques—and training participants to take a lifecycle approach to total materials management—sites can significantly reduce waste and material losses. This also lowers transportation and material handling risks by reducing the likelihood of hazardous materials leaving the site improperly, which helps minimize incident risk, reputational risk, and potential liability.
-
That’s an advantage. Acting early reduces future urgency and cost, and it lowers exposure as regulations evolve (including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and other expanding requirements). This training helps you build systems now that will be easier to scale later.
-
Because the program is designed to produce a concrete outcome: a fully developed Zero Waste Roadmap. The roadmap and tools are built to be repeatable and scalable—so the improvements can be maintained and expanded across sites.
Every Day Without a Waste Strategy Costs You Money
Waste doesn’t fix itself. The longer inefficiencies go unmeasured; the more value ends up in dumpsters instead of your bottom line. This training gives your team the tools to stop losing money and start capturing it.
