" Mismanaged waste is a global crisis with lasting consequences for public health, the environment, and economies worldwide. It's more than a sustainability failing—it's lost value. Reducing, reusing, and reintegrating high-value materials into our economy presents immense opportunity for communities and the planet.
As demand for credible sustainable performance grows, zero waste offers a practical strategy to reduce risk, improve cost savings, and demonstrate measurable impact. TRUE helps projects achieve zero waste through transformed operations that foster a stronger, greener built environment.
Join the team behind TRUE v2, the latest evolution of the TRUE Rating System, as we explore key updates, compare requirements between v1 and v2, and examine the credits and certification pathways that define the new framework. Learn what's changed, why it matters, and how TRUE v2 delivers measurable outcomes for both sustainability and financial goals.
Through an interactive exercise using a fictional company scenario, participants will explore how to implement TRUE firsthand—working through a realistic certification path with live tool demonstrations and credit-by-credit decision-making.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of TRUE v2, knowledge of how it differs from v1, practical strategies for implementing zero-waste practices within facilities and operations, and a repeatable approach to building and documenting a high-performing zero waste program."
