Targets
Glanbia sites achieving TRUE Zero Waste certification by 2025
Reduction in food waste by 2030
Waste reduction in our operations
Glanbia is committed to continuous waste reduction and diversion from landfill and incineration across our production and warehousing sites.
TRUE Zero Waste is an externally validated certification concentrating on waste prevention and reduction and ultimately diverting the remainder away from landfill. We are committed to getting all production sites certified in accordance with the TRUE Zero Waste standard by 2025.
TRUE Zero Waste certification is underway at all operational sites. Eight sites achieved silver and gold certifications in 2024. Seven sites are on track to be certified in 2025.
In 2024, Glanbia diverted more than 97% of waste from landfill and incineration. 99% of our food waste was repurposed to animal feed.
