As consumers, government, and local communities move towards a climate-focused mindset, environmental sustainability planning has become more prevalent across all industries. More economic and marketing decisions are concluded based off a company’s carbon footprint, so it is crucial for landfill owners and operators to understand their site’s footprint to promote that landfills are part of the sustainability solution.
Corporations may be completing company-wide sustainably calculations, but establishing a site-by-site carbon comparison is imperative in driving sustainably decisions. Understanding where landfills fit into our community sustainability solution can help corporations and site owners strategically plan their climate reduction strategy.
But what are some of the key pressures driving landfill sustainability, and where do sites fit into this picture? This presentation will discuss higher-level climate reduction goals that stem from global objectives, national climate goals, city climate action plans, and corporations’ carbon planning. These higher-level sustainability objectives are driving forces within landfill sustainability decision making. Being able to demonstrate how each landfill is progressing to reduce and monitor their carbon footprint provides useful metrics for future carbon planning and vital sustainability transparency for communities and stakeholders.
