TÜV AUSTRIA Private Certification Scheme – Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL)
TÜV Austria, in response to the growing needs of the market regarding Environmental Claims has developed the Certification “Zero Waste-To-Landfill” which highlights the efforts of an organization to reduce its environmental impact, aiming at a continuous reduction of the amount of waste sent to landfill.
The certification is applicable for companies of all sectors and sizes that are committed to minimizing waste sent to landfill.
Overview
In the EU, landfilling has almost been eliminated and alternative methods of rational management (recycling, composting) have prevailed. The certification is based on the analysis of the waste streams, the calculation of the mass balance and the Traceability.
For a company to be granted with the Certification, the waste percentage (%) managed shall be more than 85%.
If the audit is successful, an official certification is issued. The percentage (%) of waste that is recycled is stated in a form and in the logo that accompanies the certification.
