Mission
To increase environmental sustainability and corporate profitability by identifying and implementing cost and resource-saving strategies based on the zero waste concept.
Vision: Working Towards Zero Waste!™
Often materials used to create products and provide services generate waste by-products that end up in landfills, streams, oceans, and the air. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generated 251 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW), otherwise known as trash and materials, in 2006.
Zero Waste Solutions believes that businesses must re-think how waste is managed and capitalized. We will work with you to develop an Integrated Resource Management Plan that will divert waste from landfills and incinerators. We are a company that is passionate about helping institutions eliminate their carbon footprint while simultaneously supporting community health.
