To create a credible sustainability benchmark, you need:
- Historical waste and recycling data across all locations and vendors
- Material breakdowns (cardboard, organics, metals, plastics, landfill, and specialty streams)
- Hauler service details (frequency, container sizes, weights)
- Cost data per haul or per ton
- Diversion rates and contamination metrics
- Scope 3 emissions estimates from operational waste
Z3 standardizes and validates all this data, producing a reliable, audit-ready baseline you can use to track progress, compare locations, and inform sustainability goals.
