What should a written statement of commitment include for waste reduction?

A written statement of commitment for waste reduction should include measurable and actionable goals that contribute positively to minimizing waste. A goal to reduce landfill waste by at least 1% each year reflects a concrete objective that organizations can strive for and track over time. This not only communicates a dedication to sustainability but also provides a specific target that can lead to strategic planning and implementation of waste reduction initiatives.

Setting such a goal fosters accountability and encourages continual improvement in waste management practices. It is a clear and quantifiable target that emphasizes the intention to reduce waste generation and fulfill environmental responsibilities.
