Global waste generation in
2010 was 1.3 billion tons---the equivalent of 200 Hoover Dams.
Projections of 2.2 billion tons by 2025.
Where are we Today?
![Page 6: The Reality of Achieving Net Zero Waste](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/587b22c01a28ab736c8b6ebd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Globally, 65-75% of waste is put in a landfill, dump or other place.
Today less than 25% of our commercial waste is
repurposed.

US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY STATES:
Net Zero Waste: “…means a building that is operated to reduce,
reuse, recycle, compost, or recover solid waste streams (with the exception of hazardous and medical waste) thereby resulting in zero waste disposal.”

LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE STATES:
Net Zero Waste: Reduce or eliminate the production of waste during
design, construction, operation, and end of life and find ways to integrate waste back into either an industrial loop or natural nutrient loop. (90-100%)
All Projects must feature at least one salvaged material per 500 square meters of gross building area or be an adaptive reuse of an existing structure.

Zero Waste: terms & strategies
There is no such thing as waste in Nature.
Either "biological nutrients" or "technical nutrients"

Consensus: diverting 90% of all waste generated from Landfill and Incineration. No mixed waste incinerated or processed in facilities that operate above ambient biological temperatures (> 200F) to recover energy or materials.
Follow principle to recover “highest and best value” of embodied energy and materials through hierarchy
- reuse- recycling of inorganic materials in closed loop systems- composting of organic materials

Reduce Example: OperationsCommercial Property customer with over 150 buildings located in NJ-PA-MD-VA-TX. Challenge: Partners not adhering to designated supply chain
manufacturers for facility supplies, creating compliance, health & safety, sustainability and cost concerns. 80% Sustainable Purchasing Goal identified.
Solution: Veritiv introduced Sustainability reporting through xpedx.com to identify products used in buildings that were not “Green”. Veritiv converted these products to Sustainable options where they could.
Result: REIT reached goal of 80% use of sustainable consumable products & achieved overall cost neutrality in change-over to Sustainable products

![Page 51: The Reality of Achieving Net Zero Waste](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/587b22c01a28ab736c8b6ebd/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Mack Cali, 5 Vaughn, PrincetonChallenge: Obtain LEED Silver Certification on 98,640sf
late 1980’s multi-tenant commercial office building with minimal investment. Tenant renovations done as part of project. (ESPM Score 92)
Solution: Integrative Approach.
Result: Earned Silver Certification, conducted waste audit and achieved credits for 86% recycling rate in addition to purchase of sustainable materials for renovation.
![Page 52: The Reality of Achieving Net Zero Waste](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/587b22c01a28ab736c8b6ebd/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Reduce Example: New ConstructionRider University – SIP Construction Challenge: LEED Silver, $200/sf,
9 month construction, PTAC HVAC system
Solution: Structural Insulated Panel Wall System
Result: Achieved over 85% diversion rate on-time, on budget and earned LEED NC Silver Certification. First LEED certified dorms in New Jersey!
![Page 53: The Reality of Achieving Net Zero Waste](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/587b22c01a28ab736c8b6ebd/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Reuse/Recycle example: RenovationNatural Resources Defense Council 8th Floor Renovation, New York City, NY
Zero Waste Challenge: 95% diversion Required Source Separated Only of used bulk waste doors, windows, wallboard with plugs and screws.
Zero Waste Solution: Deconstruction and onsite repurposing of doors, countertops, offsite creative reuse of windows as decorative partition panels.
Zero Waste Solution: Recovered 4 ft. sections of wallboard removed screws & plugs with Upstate NY Mfg.
Result: Achieved over 96% diversion rate on-time schedule, saved cost with daytime work and demo team retrained for new deconstruction methods. Earned LEED-CI Platinum Certification “highest LEED score of any LEED-CI project worldwide”
![Page 54: The Reality of Achieving Net Zero Waste](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/587b22c01a28ab736c8b6ebd/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Recycle Example: New ConstructionWillow School, Health Wellness & Nutrition Center, Gladstone, NJ
Zero Waste Challenge: 95% diversion for each of 6 materials categories including difficult to recover organic food waste & foam insulation.
Zero Waste Solution: “zero tolerance policy” for beverage (coffee cup) / personal food container disposal. Composted food residuals from trailer lunch, tours & events.
Zero Waste Solution: Recycled 70 cubic yards of foam-board excess material with recycler in Philadelphia market.
Result: Achieved over 98% diversion rate meeting LBC in all materials categories & LEED Platinum (2pt + ID for 95%)
![Page 55: The Reality of Achieving Net Zero Waste](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021922/587b22c01a28ab736c8b6ebd/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Recycle/Reuse Example: OperationsAnheuser-Busch: Beverage Distribution Centers- Multiple Locations in New Jersey Zero Waste Challenge: 72% recycling rate in jeopardy due to
back flow of products from retail locations to distribution center from “born on dating” campaign. Beer required ATF witnessed destruction
Zero Waste Solution: Developed creative partnership with hog farmer to remove product from packaging, recycle packaging, and reclaim liquid product in compliance with ATF requirements.
Zero Waste Solution: Reclaimed liquid mixed with water, and sold as a service to used in land application process as soil nutrient and manure odor inhibitor on Jersey Hog Farms.
Result: Due to the size, weight, and liquid composition of truckload quantities of case beer central distribution credited with higher 86% diversion rate and saved thousands of dollars in Landfill disposal fees.

Zero Waste: strategies. “Zero Waste (90% >)” vs “High Performance (50-85%)” Higher level commitment to investment in systems & product design, Rigorous process & facility management Design for all environmental cost in design stage. Design for disassembly, remanufacturing or dematerialize. Reverse logistics of distribution system where products or
components are returned for repair, reuse, recycling. Extended producer responsibility products & packaging. Focus on service rather than products
