To achieve exemplary performance in the Materials and Resources Credit, Solid Waste Management - Ongoing, a diversion percentage of 90% for ongoing consumables is required. This high level of diversion demonstrates an advanced commitment to reducing waste and promoting recycling and composting. By diverting 90% of ongoing consumables from the landfill, projects significantly contribute to sustainability goals by minimizing their environmental footprint related to waste.
Reference: The LEED AP Operations + Maintenance reference guide specifies the criteria for exemplary performance in waste management, including the 90% diversion target. This ambitious goal underscores the importance of comprehensive waste reduction strategies in LEED-certified projects.
