What is a TRUE Certification?
The TRUE Zero Waste Certification program helps organizations significantly reduce waste by implementing systems that divert at least 90% of non-hazardous waste away from landfills and incineration through strategies like reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting. The program, administered by the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), goes beyond simple recycling rates by focusing on policies, operational practices, and resource efficiency that support long-term sustainability. WasteCap’s TRUE Advisors guide organizations through the certification process by helping develop zero-waste policies, track diversion data, conduct waste audits, and manage documentation required for certification. Facilities earn points across categories such as reduction, reuse, training, purchasing, and innovation, with certification levels ranging from Certified to Platinum depending on the number of points achieved. By pursuing TRUE certification, organizations can lower costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve operational efficiency, and demonstrate strong environmental leadership.
