Here are TRUE's definitions and how they see
what zero waste means. Zero waste is a goal that
is ethical, economical, efficient, and visionary to
guide people into changing their lifestyles and
practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles.
We have definitely seen this to be the case at
Posty Cards where having a zero-waste program
at the building has actually inspired our
employees, because they have to recycle every
day at the office, they've actually gotten really
good at recycling at home. Those employees who
can't recycle at home, they are more than
welcome to recycle their things at Posty Cards,
and as well we allow employees to recycle hard-
to-recycle items at Posty Cards.
Another thing that zero waste does, it means
designing and managing your products and
processes systematically from the beginning to
avoid and eliminate toxic waste and materials,
and not burn or bury them, as well as
implementing zero waste to eliminate all
discharges to land, air, and water.
So it's really about going beyond recycling, and
redesigning, rethinking, reducing, and reusing,
and we have seen this to be the case at Posty
Cards. The TRUE certification specifically really
helped us with this process.
