The numbers behind zero waste


Today is America Recycles Day and there are simple steps all of us can take to reduce waste – and cut costs.  At Walmart, one of our three big sustainability goals is to create zero waste and last year we worked towards this goal by recycling, donating food, and reusing organic material.  As a result, we reduced the amount we send to landfill in the U.S. by 80 percent!  For more on how we did it check out our infographic.

The zero waste program follows a simple recycle, repurpose, and reuse philosophy.
