Composting technology for cleaner, greener communities
Net Zero Waste is committed to this philosophy and to working with communities in a unified direction towards a Zero Waste goal.
We provide the services necessary to support programs which promote and encourage both producer responsibility and user responsibility practices, particularly with regards to organic management. Our innovative designs allow us to charge tipping fees well below the cost at the landfill which further encourages waste reduction through financial incentives above and beyond the environmental conscience.
Our Strategy
NetZero Waste has focused its operational strategy around the Gore Cover System which is based on a membrane laminate technology similar to that of the Gore-Tex fabrics used for outerwear and footwear. Installed in more than 150 plants in 26 countries world wide, the benefits of the Gore Cover System include odor reduction of 90-97%; Bio-aerosol Emissions reduction of greater than 99 percent; less than 1 KWH/ton Energy Requirement and a three square feet/ton space requirement.
Gore Cover Reference Facility in Everett, Washington. 200,000 T/yr capacity. This facility accepts a mixture of food and yard waste and Net Zero Waste Personnel were heavily involved throughout design and construction of this facility.
