Zero Waste to Landfill
 Zero waste to landfill is the latest trend in recycling and corporate sustainability. Manufacturing companies around the world work hard to meet their zero waste to landfill goals and to monitor their waste reduction and prevention strategies to ensure their continued success. The advent of practices like "the greening of supply chain" to the world of manufacturing business, which involves including recycled content materials in the manufacturing process, has been helping companies in reaching sustainability goals. Moreover, developing products from recycled materials is one outcome of adapting to best management practices that small and medium-sized manufacturers use as opportunities to add value within their sustainability strategies. How a Manufacturer can start a recycling program
GOIC has been working on setting its experts and resources to guide GCC manufacturing companies to the goal of zero waste. GOIC's consulting toolkit:
Prepare decision packages for a company management to provide support to recycling.
Conduct a waste audit.
Find a market for recyclables.
Develop a "recycling market development program" to assist companies with recycling markets.

GOIC'S LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS SERVICES
 The recycling industry is making a substantial contribution to the improvement of our environment by cutting greenhouse gas emissions, delivering significant energy and water savings, as well as conserving non-renewable virgin resources.
Some of the greatest environmental benefits of recycling are in the conservation of energy and natural resources and the prevention of pollution when recycled material, rather than raw material, is used to make a new product. Manufacturing materials the second time around is much cleaner and less energy intensive than when using raw materials.
GOIC's Life cycle analysis (LCA) service aim to show that by substituting secondary-use materials for virgin materials the environmental benefits from the reprocessing of all recovered material would generate energy savings, prevent greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere, and save water.
