tOWARDS ZERO WASTE

Waste Loop is here to support your journey towards zero waste.

Toward Zero Waste Support

Waste Loop provides personalized waste assessments, consultation services, and education to help your team move towards zero waste. We believe that reducing waste is one of the most attainable ways for individuals and businesses to make a positive impact.  

What is Towards Zero Waste?

The Towards Zero Waste movement challenges us all to think about waste differently. After all, what is 'waste' but a potential resource? When moving Towards Zero Waste (TZW) one gives careful consideration to the products used in their business and where they might end up afterwards. The goal is to reduce our impact by minimizing resource use and reducing the amount of waste sent to the landfill. Planning in this manner may result in items being recycled, composted or avoided altogether. 

Our Services

  • Every event is different and Waste Loop is here to work with you to maximize waste reduction potential based on event details such as venue, projected attendance, menu, etc.

  • Waste reduction and sustainability is just one facet of running a business. From assessing your waste stream, setting actionable goals, and providing personalized TZW recommendations, Waste Loop is here to support your business!

  • Often the first step on your TZW journey, assessing your baseline waste footprint is necessary. Waste Loop will work with you and your staff to measure your waste stream through a site visit and waste audit. Subsequent audits are a great way to measure progress, engage staff, and share data with your community!

  • Waste reduction is only as robust as the staff motivation behind it. Allow Waste Loop to help energize and educate your staff on the important role they are playing in your TZW efforts.

Testimonials

“It [TZW] may not be glamorous, but I think one of the MOST important jobs done that weekend!”

-Community Member

“To me, You [TZW] were the best part of the crew! Knowing that you educated and sorted and collected made me feel that much more comfortable partying!”

-Oktoberfest Attendee

This crew [Waste Loop] was amazing and very dedicated! Sticking their hands and sometimes faces into the trash bags to sort mis-tossed trash & compost! So fun to work with too!
