TRUE Certification, a Zero Waste Program

A logo with a stylized blue and black letter 'Z' turned sideways and the word 'TRUE' below it. This is the logo for the Total Resource Use Efficiency (TRUE) zero waste certification 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.

Automatic data ingestion

TRUE certification depends on accurate waste tracking, and WATS makes that process seamless. With Automatic Data Ingestion, teams simply send their waste documents to WATS - no formatting, sorting, or prep required. Using machine learning, optical character recognition (OCR), and expert review, WATS automatically extracts and standardizes all relevant data.

Waste Generation Data

PDFs, spreadsheets, scanned invoices, hauler reports: WATS handles it all. The result is a clean, centralized dataset that’s instantly ready for reporting and ongoing operational insights. Say goodbye to manual data entry and hello to reliable, real-time waste data visibility. 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 submissions for precertification, certification, and/or recertification a snap.

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.
