Waste Diversion Calculator

Guide

How It Works

Measures the proportion of generated solid waste diverted from landfills through recycling, composting, and reuse.

  • Diversion Rate: Divides total diverted weight by total waste generated across all audit streams.
  • LEED Standards: LEED v4 targets a minimum 50% diversion for ongoing operations and 75% for facility projects.
  • Zero Waste: TRUE Zero Waste certification requires achieving at least a 90% overall diversion rate.
  • Landfill Impact: Tracks residual disposed waste to identify reduction opportunities and cut landfill emissions.
