Aiming for Zero Waste

The Rochester, N.Y.-based company, which also makes paper folding cartons, said it is using recycling and energy recovery to divert manufacturing waste from landfill disposal. The company has a future goal of achieving zero waste-to-landfill for all of its operations.

Diamond Packaging’s zero manufacturing waste efforts include plastics, paper, metal, industrial waste and regulated wastes. But it does not include construction and demolition debris, the company said.
