About the Tools – Over the last few years, members of the Zero Waste Brain Trust Core Team have conducted numerous brainstorms and projects, all of which helped us to collect and develop a suite of Zero Waste and high diversion best practices and resources. This “brain trust” has been distilled into useful strategic tools – case studies, assessment models, and sample policy, ordinance and agreement language. We have also been updating and improving the assessment tools we and others have been using for years, many of which can be found on the Zero Waste USA website: www.zerowasteusa.org/tool_kit/. The team also worked under contract to the EPA to develop much of the content contained in the recently published EPA website: Managing and Transforming Waste Streams – A Tool for Communities. |
