What is Sustainable Materials Management?
A systematic
approach to using
and reusing
materials more
productively over
their entire lifecycles
Why is SMM so Critical?
“One half to three quarters
of annual resource inputs
to industrial economies is
returned to the
environment as wastes
within just one year.”
Weight of Nations: Material
Outflows from Industrial
Economies, WRI
Source: Material extraction data from UNEP
(forthcoming in 2016b), GDP data from UNSD (2015).
Why SMM?
•
•
•
Materials Management accounts for 42% of U.S. GHG emissions.
o In 2014, the 89 million tons of MSW recycled and composted provided a
reduction of 181 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent
emissions.
The Economic Impact of the U.S. Recycling and Reuse Industry:
o 757,000 jobs
 1.57 jobs for every 1,000 tons of materials recycled
o $36.6 billion in wages; and
o $6.7 billion in tax revenues
In the U.S. in 2014, $6.8 billion was spent to bury materials with a recycling
value of $8.9 billion.
Thank you!

New Waste and Materials Tab
Waste Tracking: Basic Terminology
•
•
•
•
Waste Material Type – The 29 different categories of materials that you can track (e.g. trash,
mixed recyclables, batteries, food scraps, etc.)
Waste Management Method – One of 4 options for how you manage your waste and materials
– Donated/Reused
– Recycled
– Composted
– Disposed
Disposed Waste Destination – One of 4 options for where your disposed waste (e.g. trash)
goes:
– Landfill
– Incineration
– Waste to Energy (refers to incineration for energy recovery, not to landfill with gas
recovery)
– Other/Unknown
Waste Diversion – the sum of the Composted, Recycled, and Donated/Reused Materials (i.e.
everything that is not disposed)
Inventory of Materials for Tracking
• 29 Material Types
• 4 Methods of
Management
• 72 Unique
Combinations
Waste and Materials Management Metrics
•
•
•
Overall Aggregate Metrics
– Total Waste (Disposed and Diverted)
– Total Diverted Materials
• Includes: Recycled, Composted, and Donated/Reused Materials Only
• Does not include: waste-to-energy because in this case the waste is still destroyed
– Total for each management method (e.g. Disposed, Recycled)
– Total for each disposal destination (e.g. Landfill, Incineration, Waste-To-Energy)
Detailed Metrics each type of waste (e.g. Recycled – Cardboard)
– Total Cost and Tons
– Estimated Data Flag
All metrics can be pulled in a custom report and download to Excel
– If you want to create different aggregate metrics you can
– Can perform your own calculations for universal waste, energy recovery, or other areas of
interest relative to your sustainability goals.
 The waste data does not impact your ENERGY STAR score or calculated emissions
