SES offers free waste stream assessments for automotive manufacturers and suppliers - no obligation, no guesswork. Just a simplified assessment of where your waste program stands and what it takes to achieve "Zero Waste to Landfill". Learn how to:
» Achieve & Maintain ISO 14001:2026 Compliance
» Meet Corporate Sustainability Goals
» Divert 100% of Manufacturing Waste from Landfill
» Lower Costs in Waste Program
» Identify & Report Landfill Diversion Metrics
Automotive manufacturing generates large volumes of waste: metal scrap, plastics, packaging, process chemicals, off-spec parts, and more. For decades, the landfill was the default answer. That's changing fast. Major auto manufacturers have now committed to zero waste to landfill across their operations and are extending those expectations to their supplier networks.
Sustainability Mandates: OEMs have committed to zero waste to landfill across global operations, with expectations extending directly to their supplier networks. Tier 1s are now required to meet documented sustainability targets, report waste generation data, and demonstrate improvement. Without a credible landfill diversion program, suppliers are carrying contract risk.
ISO 14001:2026: The first major update to ISO 14001 in over a decade will be released April 2026. The new standard puts greater emphasis on measurable environmental outcomes, not just having a management system in place, but proving it is working. Waste management is one of the most visible and quantifiable aspects to the ISO standard. SES provides comprehensive reporting on all materials received, giving our customers verifiable documentation that waste was diverted from landfills.
Rising Landfill Costs: Landfill disposal costs increase every year. Waste streams that haven't been optimized cost more than they should, and some of what's going to the landfill has real value as alternative fuel, recycled material, or beneficial reuse. At SES, our landfill diversion programs don't just solve a compliance problem, they reduce cost.
ACCEPTING ALL NON HAZARDOUS WASTE PROFILES: Metal Scrap & Stampings, Plastic Packaging & Film, Plastics Components, Trim, Off-Spec & Rejected Parts, Paint Sludge & Coatings Waste, Lubricants & Used Oils, Rubber Seals & Gaskets, Foam & Insulation Scrap, Wood Pallets & Crating, Cardboard & Industrial Packaging, Assembly Line Waste, Proprietary Parts (Assured Destruction), Electronic Components & Wiring Scrap, All Manufacturing Byproducts
SES works directly with automotive manufacturers and their supply chains to build sustainable waste programs that meet landfill diversion mandates and reuse 100% of the material for reuse as alternative fuels, recycled commodities, and other beneficial reuse applications. SES has repurposed and diverted over 250,000 tons of industrial waste from landfill.
Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials (NHSM): When waste arrives at an SES facility and processed for beneficial reuse, the materials are no longer classified as solid waste. Instead, it becomes a NHSM, a new resource with a productive purpose. This isn't just semantics, it's a fundamental shift that reduces your regulatory burden, lowers your disposal costs, and repurposes your materials as alternative fuels, compost feedstocks, or recycled commodities.
Nationwide Reach & Rapid Response: With six zero waste facilities and a nationwide partner network, SES can pickup and process any waste stream in the United States within 24 hours.
100% Landfill Diversion: We transform diverse waste streams into valuable resources - reducing landfill exposure, lowering disposal costs, and advancing corporate sustainability goals without disrupting your operations. SES processes materials for 100% beneficial reuse through Alternative Engineered Fuels (AEFs), Organics Processing and Composting, Industrial Recycling, and other Beneficial Reuse applications. Whether handling manufacturing byproducts, expired products, or routine waste streams, SES provides the infrastructure, expertise, and verified documentation you need to achieve true zero waste to landfill.
Zero Waste Reporting: SES provides comprehensive reporting on all materials received, giving our customers verifiable documentation that waste was diverted from landfills.
