Certification

To obtain LEED Zero Waste certification, a project must achieve GBCI’s TRUE Zero Waste certification at the Platinum level. The TRUE Zero Waste program requires projects to have a zero waste policy in place, achieve an average of 90% or greater overall diversion from landfill, incineration (waste-to-energy) and the environment for solid, non-hazardous wastes for the most recent 12 months, and fulfill five other minimum program requirements. A project team submits their TRUE Zero Waste Platinum certification for GBCI review in order to earn LEED Waste Certification.
