True Advisors
The TRUE (Total Resource Use and Efficiency) certification is for companies and organizations that are ready to take their operations to a zero-waste level.
Zero-waste status is achieved once an organization reaches and maintains a 90% waste diversion rate for a 12-month period. Waste diversion means directly or indirectly recycling, reusing, or reducing waste – preventing it from ending up in a landfill or incinerator.
Common waste diversion methods include cardboard recycling, single-stream recycling, donating, composting, battery recycling, and relying on reusable supplies.
Reduction In Motion approach simplifies the process with four steps
1. Assess
Conduct a Comprehensive Audit
2. Analyze and Compare
Generate a Gap Analysis
3. Plan
Create and actionable plan with detailed steps and metrics.
4. Execute
Ensure each step of the plan is completed and documented.
What’s more – our TRUE certification advisors will be with you along the way to make sure the journey toward zero-waste is as quick and smooth as possible.
