Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) means preventing waste generated at our workplace from being sent to a landfill. Instead, waste is reduced, reused, recycled, recovered or safely treated through authorized channels.
Simple approach: “Don’t send waste to landfill—find a better destination for it.”
Examples:
?? Cardboard & paper ? Segregate and send for recycling.
?? Plastic bottles/packaging ? Collect separately and recycle through authorized recyclers.
?? Metal scrap ? Recover and recycle.
?? Food/garden waste ? Compost or process through a suitable organic-waste system.
?? Batteries/e-waste ? Hand over only to authorized recyclers/e-waste processors.
??? Used oil/contaminated waste ? Send to authorized hazardous-waste recyclers/treatment facilities.
??? Old electrical/electronic equipment ? E-waste recycling—not general waste bins.
?? Mixed waste ? Avoid mixing recyclable, organic and hazardous waste.
What should each employee do?
Reduce waste at source.
Reuse wherever possible.
Segregate waste at the point of generation.
Put waste in the correct designated bin.
Never mix hazardous or recyclable waste with general waste.
Ensure waste is handed over only through approved/authorized disposal channels.
