GreenBiz 17 Workshop Slides: "Applying Lifecycle Thinking to Zero Waste Goals"GreenBiz Group
For the past twenty-five years, Americans have embraced recycling as an important measurement of environmental performance. The idea that more recycling must be better has spurred the widespread adoption of zero waste goals, developed with the best intentions. However, a focus on recycling as many tons as possible does not always take into account the whole picture of the environmental impact of waste. Join this session to understand how a lifecycle thinking approach can help you develop waste goals and programs for your company that will achieve the greatest environmental benefits and business results.
This document discusses closing the loop in the textile industry and transitioning to a circular economy model. It defines key terms like "circular economy" and distinguishes it from recycling alone. The document outlines that fully closing the loop will require new recycling technologies, like chemical recycling, that can recover fibers to virgin quality at scale. It also notes that technologies alone are not enough and that wider system changes are needed, including new business models, policies to incentivize recycling, and consumer behavior changes. The goal is an industry where 80% of textiles currently landfilled or incinerated are instead collected and recycled to eliminate waste and reliance on virgin materials.

AllianceBoots has also taken several practical steps to reduce their environmental impact, such as decreasing air freight and packaging to cut costs and emissions.
This document discusses driving carton recycling value chains. It notes that in 2016, 644,000 tons of packaging materials were invoiced in China, with 153,000 tons of used beverage cartons recycled. Recycling used beverage cartons faces challenges including low profit margins for collectors due to high transportation costs. China's ban on waste imports also impacts carton recycling by lowering waste paper prices and requiring investment in local recycling infrastructure.

Biomimicry a successful business strategy by learning from natureSwedbank Lietuvoje
This document summarizes a presentation about biomimicry and sustainability in business. It discusses how Interface, a carpet tile manufacturer, has achieved significant reductions in waste, energy use, and emissions through biomimicry and circular business models. Interface studied nature for ideas like using less material while maintaining performance. They also implemented closed-loop systems to reuse materials and partnered with others to solve social and environmental issues. The presentation encourages businesses to embed sustainability in their core strategies and operations by learning from nature and working towards zero environmental impact.

Moog, a supplier of aircraft control systems, faced challenges with their paint removal process due to hazardous chemicals. They tested Safetykleen's Kleenstrip machine, which removes paint safely and compliantly. Moog then implemented the Kleenstrip machine, creating a safer work environment for employees while still effectively removing paint to allow reuse of components.
Honeywell Aerospace, a leading manufacturer of aerospace technology, was searching for a solution to remove microscopic contaminants from complex components. Safetykleen tested their Jetkleen machines on deliberately contaminated components, successfully cleaning hard-to-reach areas and removing microscopic metallic particles. As a result, Honeywell Aerospace implemented three Jetkleen machines in their process, improving quality standards and reducing waste.
Kimberly-Clark announced stronger global forest standards that will increase forest conservation and make the company a leader in sustainable tissue products. Greenpeace ended its "Kleercut" campaign against Kimberly-Clark and applauded the company's sustainability efforts. By the end of 2011, Kimberly-Clark will ensure 40% of its North American tissue fiber is recycled or FSC-certified, and will eliminate fiber from Canada's Boreal Forest unless it is FSC-certified. Greenpeace and Kimberly-Clark hope other companies will follow their example of promoting forest conservation through responsible practices.

The discussion about sustainability is
often confusing
It is often opinion led, based on
people’s personal experience and
drivers
A serious approach on sustainability
needs to reflect the complexity of
interdependences of environmental,
social and economic factors
4. KIMBERLY-CLARK – Leading in Sustainability
“We recognize that only companies that
build sustainability into the way they do
business will have enduring success.
Our business relies on natural resources
such as wood fibre, energy and water. It
is clearly in our best interest to design
products and manufacturing processes
that conserve these resources and
secure their availability for the future.”

Reduce Today, Respect Tomorrow is the
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*
approach to sustainability
It begins with the understanding that the
way we use resources today shapes the
world of tomorrow
It has led us to focus on reducing
consumption at every stage of the product
life cycle from design to disposal
Reduction is the key to lowering the
environmental impact of our activities as
well as those of our customers
