Have a
question?

What is Zero Waste to Landfill?

Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) is an approach to waste management that helps organisations reduce waste generation, prevent unnecessary landfill disposal, and maximise the recovery, reuse, recycling and responsible management of materials.

Who can join the ZWTL Pledge?

Organisations of all sizes and sectors can join. The voluntary programme supports organisations at different stages of their waste-management journey.

Is the ZWTL Pledge free?

Yes. The Pledge is free to join. Participants receive 12 months of free Digital Platform access for one account. Independent verification is a separate service, quoted according to scope.

What is the Pledge target?

Participants work towards at least 75% landfill diversion within 12 months of signing the Pledge. They establish a baseline, create an action plan, track progress and report quarterly to the Secretariat.

Does signing the Pledge mean we are verified?

No. A pledge is a commitment. Verification is a separate independent assessment against the applicable ZWTL Standard. Platform use and participation do not establish verification.

What is a Waste Neutralisation Partner?

Waste Neutralisation Partners recover, recycle, compost or convert waste to value. They provide recovery evidence and can support collection and responsible material management.

Where can I get the ZWTL Standard?

The Standard is available upon request from the Control Union Malaysia team. Contact the team to discuss the applicable requirements and access arrangements.

How do I access the Digital Platform?

Open the Digital Platform page and choose the Producer App or WNP App. Each opens the separate Microsoft Power Apps platform in a new tab. Sign-in or account access may be required.

What happens after the first 12 months?

The Pledge is a continuous journey. Participants review their progress after 12 months, continue improving their practices and may explore verification if the applicable requirements are met.
