Manufacturing floors generate complex and hard-to-recycle waste streams. SES has a reuse pathway for all of it. Everything can be repurposed in a sustainable way, helping you achieve your sustainability goals.
US manufacturing companies generate large volumes of complex and hard-to-recycle waste. For decades, landfill was the default answer. That is changing fast. Today, what used to be called non-recyclables can now be repurposed for beneficial reuse, including alternative fuels that power industrial applications.
SES works directly with manufacturers and their supply chains to build sustainable waste programs that meet landfill diversion mandates and reuse 100% of the material.
No obligation, no guesswork — just a simplified assessment of where your waste program stands and what it takes to achieve your landfill diversion goals.
Three forces are reshaping how manufacturers handle waste.
Corporate sustainability commitments are no longer limited to Fortune 500 headquarters. Mid-market and contract manufacturers are increasingly required by their customers to document waste diversion rates, demonstrate environmental performance, and meet zero-waste-to-landfill targets. Without a credible program, manufacturers risk supply chain exposure.
The first major update to ISO 14001 in over a decade puts greater emphasis on measurable environmental outcomes, not just having a plan in place. SES provides comprehensive reporting on all materials received, giving customers verifiable documentation that waste was diverted from landfill.
Landfill disposal costs increase every year. Waste streams that have not been optimized cost more than they should, and some of what is going to landfill has real value as alternative fuel, recycled commodities, or beneficial reuse. At SES, our landfill diversion programs do not just solve a compliance problem, they lower costs for our customers.
Here is how SES makes zero waste practical on a plant floor.
When waste arrives at an SES facility and is processed for beneficial reuse, it is no longer classified as solid waste. Instead, it becomes a new resource with a productive purpose, reducing your regulatory burden and disposal costs.
With six zero waste facilities and a nationwide partner network, SES can pick up and process any waste stream in the United States within 24 hours.
SES transforms diverse waste streams into valuable resources through Alternative Engineered Fuels, Organics Processing, Industrial Recycling, and other Beneficial Reuse applications.
SES provides comprehensive reporting on all materials received, giving our customers verifiable documentation that waste was diverted from landfills.
All material streams are documented for landfill diversion, giving you measurable progress toward your zero waste and sustainability goals.
Every SES customer gets full access to waste diversion reporting and security tracking: chain of custody, photo documentation, certificates of destruction, and 24/7 security monitored facilities.
SES pairs Six Sigma Black Belts with TRUE Certified Zero Waste to Landfill Advisors. That "lean and green" combination brings process discipline to your waste program, uncovering cost savings and efficiency gains.
SES builds the zero waste pathway and supplies the comprehensive documentation and diversion data required for ESG reporting and sustainability credentials like TRUE Zero Waste, UL 2799, and ISO 14001.
