About Real Zero Waste

Real Zero Waste is a news and analysis site covering recycling, waste, hazardous materials, plastics, e-waste and the circular economy in the United States.

Most coverage of waste is written for policy people or for consumers. Ours is written for the people who actually have to move the material: operations and warehouse managers, EHS and sustainability leads, procurement teams, 3PLs, brand owners and recyclers. We care about what a rule means on the dock, what a commodity price means for a baler, and what a recall means for the pallets sitting in aisle 14.

Who publishes it

Real Zero Waste is published by Wasteless Group LLC, a U.S. inventory destruction, recycling and sustainable disposal company. That gives us a front-row view of how material actually moves, and it is also a conflict of interest, so we disclose it on every article. Editorial coverage is not for sale and is not shaped by the publisher’s commercial interests. Where we mention the publisher’s services, it is labeled.
