Their own IS2 Data Management platform provides them with real-time access to waste metrics so they can quarterly report, calculate carbon and track performance. Over 230 facilities have become zero-waste facilities, and Envita recycled huge quantities of metal, plastic, cardboard and wood, diverting more than 1.2 million tons of waste from landfills in the year 2023. This evidence-based method provides the clients the ability to achieve the sustainability goals accurately.
