About WM

By 2038, our goal is to reduce and avoid four times the GHG emissions we generate through our operations.To reach this goal, Waste Management will also scale up the low-carbon services and solutions that we provide to our customers. For example:

Using recycled feedstock in place of virgin resources requires less mining and processing of raw materials, reducing emissions in the manufacturing process.

Reducing food waste avoids emissions associated with growing, processing and transporting food.

Leveraging our CORe® organics recycling process transforms urban food waste into a source of renewable energy.

Applying compost products created from organic materials improves soil structure and provides nutrients, reducing the GHG emissions associated with fossil fuel-based fertilizer.

 Creating renewable energy from waste at our landfills reduces the need for energy from fossil fuel.

Installing our Carbon Blocker™ fly ash treatment system at coal-fired power plants converts fly ash with increased carbon levels into a cement replacement in concrete.

Working with WM Sustainability Services helps customers shrink their carbon footprints and achieve climate goals.
