Program

The Zero Waste Certification Program (ZWCP) offers a globally trusted framework to validate waste reduction and resource recovery. Rooted in circular economy principles, it helps organizations eliminate landfill reliance, implement sustainable practices, and report performance transparently. Through standardized methodology, third-party verification, and clear certification levels, ZWCP empowers manufacturers, municipalities, and service providers to turn environmental goals into measurable leadership and continuous improvement.

Logo Use

The Zero Waste Certification symbolizes your verified commitment to sustainability, resource efficiency, and environmental leadership. Certified organizations are encouraged to highlight this accomplishment across facility signage, digital communications, and official publications. To support consistent branding, ICIS supplies logo files in three formats—PDF, JPG, and SVG—ensuring versatility across web platforms and documents.

These marks reflect measurable waste diversion and operational integrity. To maintain credibility, certified entities must use the logos only in contexts that accurately reflect the facility’s certified scope and follow ICIS usage guidelines. Misrepresentation, whether through exaggerated claims or improper placement, is strictly prohibited.

In cases of certification expiration, revocation, or termination, companies must promptly remove the logo from all public-facing materials. This policy upholds ICIS’s standards for transparency and protects the integrity of zero waste declarations throughout the marketplace.
