SCS Global Services
Recognises waste diversion achievements at facilities, projects and events and encourages continual progress toward landfill-free operations.
The SCS Zero Waste Certification costs $2,500 USD, takes approximately 8 weeks, and requires around 40 hours of study. Over 500 events have earned this certification worldwide. Renewal costs $1,500 USD every 12 months.
This certification is best suited for facility managers, sustainability directors, and operations teams at manufacturing plants, corporate campuses, stadiums, hotels, and event venues that are actively tracking and reducing landfill-bound waste. It is particularly valuable for organizations seeking third-party credibility for ESG reporting or sustainability marketing claims, and for event organizers wanting to demonstrate measurable environmental responsibility. Companies already achieving 50%+ diversion rates who want to formalize and communicate their progress will find the tiered structure especially accessible.
