Greif Adds 11 Additional Sites Achieving Zero Waste To Landfill In 2021, eleven additional Greif facilities achieved zero waste to landfill status, bringing the total number within the company to 45. The facilities joining the zero waste to landfill status include seven U.S. facilities, two APAC facili- ties, and two EMEA facilities. Greif now counts 55 facilities achieving diversion of at least 99 percent of waste to landfills. The company’s am- bitious target to divert 90 percent of waste from landfills from all production locations globally by the end of the fis- cal year 2025 is on target, with 136 of Greif’s 190 produc- tion facilities already achieving this target. “We have a growing number of colleagues led by our global zero waste team that work closely together to prog- ress our sustainability initiatives, and we are seeing an in- crease in internal awareness alongside the desire to do better,” says Aysu Katun, VP of Sustainability, Greif. “We are encouraged by the ambition and innovation that is coming directly from the operational side of the business.” Local onsite initiatives that are helping to achieve zero waste to landfill status typically involve thinking laterally, developing partnerships, and education. Some of these successful initiatives include: • Partnerships with fuel pelletizers who convert mixed waste and contaminants into fuel pellets for energy.
• Looking at materials in a circular way and engaging with vendors and customers that have plastic and met- al material that they want to divert from landfills • Collection, storage, and distribution of broken wood, pallet pieces, and other wood sources for delivery to mulch manufacturers.
