TRUE Certification, a Zero Waste Program

Achieving TRUE Zero Waste certification requires meticulous waste tracking—but manually collecting, standardizing, and reporting waste data can be overwhelming. That’s where WATS comes in. WATS ingests all your waste data, transforms it into an intuitive dashboard, and provides exports in the required format for TRUE certification.

The WATS platform seamlessly ingests and processes waste data from virtually any file type, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Whether your data comes in as invoice PDFs, hauler reports, spreadsheets, CSV files, or even scanned documents, WATS automates the extraction, standardization, and analysis. By transforming scattered waste data into a centralized, actionable dashboard, WATS makes tracking effortless. It’s a game-changer for TRUE reporting.

Waste Operations Data

The WATS platform also makes it easy to source up-to-date service level data from all your sites, ensuring you have a complete and accurate picture of your current service levels for all of your waste streams. This information is then available for export in TRUE’s required format, making certification tracking effortless.

WATS believes that people’s time is best spent taking action to reduce waste — not manually processing data.

The real opportunity lies in integrating waste tracking into ongoing operations, not treating it as a once-a-year compliance task. By capturing and processing waste data as soon as it becomes available, businesses can unlock cost savings, drive operational efficiencies, and make more informed decisions. This level of continuous tracking wasn’t feasible before, but with WATS, it’s now seamless.

Let’s talk about your journey to Zero Waste.
