Danone North America has announced a corporate goal of achieving Zero Waste to Landfill across all North American company facilities by 2025.
Zero Waste to Landfill is achieved when at least 99% of waste generated throughout the manufacturing process is diverted from landfills and is reused, upcycled, recycled, composted or sent for energy recovery. According to the White Plains-based company, the goal has already been achieved by 15% of its manufacturing facilities.
“As one of the world’s largest Certified B Corporations and a market leader in yogurt, plant-based, premium dairy, and coffee creamers, embracing our responsibility to support a more sustainable world is pivotal,” said Sherri Livengood, director of environmental affairs at Danone North America, who added this initiative was part of the company”™s “commitment to reducing food loss and waste in our U.S. operations by 50% by 2030 and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
