We’ve teamed up with RPM Program to index our plastics, identifying what, where, and how much we use. This helps us focus our efforts on reducing plastic use in our supply chain.

The RPM Program ‘Zero Plastic to Landfill Challenge’
Curious about how much plastic your organization sends to landfill? Want to discover ways to reduce it?
The Zero Plastic to Landfill Challenge has been a great success internationally with over 8000 organizations involved in sorting, collecting plastics for recycling/recovery that would have otherwise ended up in landfill and the environment.
Case Example 1: Clean The World, Bathroom Plastic Initiative, has diverted over 4 million kilos of plastic amenity bottles from the hotel sector from landfill to recycling. (See Blog).
Case Example 2: SISK Group, have diverted many tonnes of different plastic types from construction sites that would have otherwise have gone to landfill. (See Blog).
Zero Plastic to Landfill is your commitment to work with waste management organizations and recyclers to divert plastics from landfills to more sustainable processes like recycling, reduction, reuse, or energy recovery.
Participating organizations can proudly display the Zero Plastic to Landfill Engaged logo and work towards full identification, verification and certification.
