What is the highest certification level one can achieve in the TRUE Waste system?

The highest certification level one can achieve in the TRUE Waste system is the Platinum level. This designation signifies the most comprehensive and thorough commitment to waste reduction and sustainable practices within an organization. Achieving Platinum status demonstrates that a facility has implemented exemplary waste diversion strategies, effectively minimizing landfill contributions and maximizing recycling efforts.

The Platinum certification requires meeting and exceeding rigorous standards that reflect best practices in waste management. This level not only recognizes the implementation of innovative practices but also emphasizes the continual improvement and engagement of employees and stakeholders in sustainability efforts. By achieving this status, organizations can showcase their leadership in zero waste initiatives and their dedication to environmental responsibility, setting a benchmark for others in the industry.

Lower certification levels, such as Certified, Silver, and Gold, indicate varying degrees of commitment and achievement in waste reduction practices, but none reach the comprehensive standard set by the Platinum level. Each certification level builds upon the previous one, requiring progressively more stringent waste management practices and outcomes.
