In addition to ZIP Certification for events, Zero Waste Pittsburgh is introducing ZIP Certification for Businesses & Institutions. This newest addition to its successful certification program will help organizations set/achieve greater waste reduction goals and receive recognition for their efforts. ZIP Certification provides a means of documenting reduction in the environmental impact of waste by way of composting organics, purchasing goods with recycled content and training employees to reduce their volume of trash. Since 2010, ZIP certification has documented an environmental benefit equivalent to removing 51 cars from the road for one year from events engaging in ZIP Certification. Other benefits of waste reduction can include decreased disposal costs, positive marketing and improved satisfaction among employees.
