What is one of the key requirements for tracking diversion credits?

Tracking the type and weight of non-hazardous solid materials by month for 12 months is essential for accurately assessing waste diversion credits. This practice allows organizations to measure their waste management efforts effectively over time. By maintaining detailed records that specify the categories and amounts of materials diverted from landfills, it becomes possible to evaluate the success of recycling or composting initiatives, which in turn informs strategies for improving waste reduction efforts.

Understanding the type and weight of diverted materials helps in verifying compliance with local regulations and sustainability goals. It also assists in reporting and justifying the diversion credits claimed. Such systematic monitoring can ultimately lead to better resource management and a clearer understanding of the environmental impact of waste management practices.
