Road to Landfill Free


The Beginning of the Journey

Devise a plan of attack! • TOS group (Total Operating Systems) developed a Tactical Implementation Plan (TIP) for a ZWTL implementation calendar. • The TIP established tasks and dates for implementing ZWTL for each team in the facility. • TIP included tasks such as dumpster dive, determining collection bins, educating the team, etc. • Each week progress was reported to management. • Also included were the cafeteria, offices, and Maintenance Shop. • Benchmark! • Delist hazardous waste sludge through a process change
