Introduction: What is Net Zero Emissions?
The world is shifting towards more sustainable business models, and net zero emissions is a core goal for many industries globally. But what does it mean? Achieving net zero emissions requires companies to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions being offset through methods like carbon capture or reforestation.
In Malaysia, businesses are increasingly aligning with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, driven by government policies and global trends. One of the often-overlooked contributors to a company’s carbon footprint is waste management. Waste not only impacts landfills but contributes significantly to GHG emissions, especially through improper disposal methods like incineration and landfill dumping.
How Waste Management Contributes to Net Zero
To achieve net zero, businesses need to rethink their approach to waste. Waste that is improperly managed or ends up in landfills emits large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Reducing waste, increasing recycling efforts, and finding ways to divert waste from landfills are essential strategies for reducing a business’s carbon footprint.
Sustainable waste management is more than just recycling; it’s about leveraging data to track waste streams, optimize collection routes, and implement waste-to-energy solutions. At GarGeon, we provide businesses with the tools to not only reduce waste but also minimize emissions, moving them closer to achieving net zero targets.
