2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Reducing Our Environmental Footprint | Waste Management | 188 GOING FORWARD There is a tremendous need to reduce the amount of waste that corporations send to landfill, and that is why Owens Corning’s goals are highly ambitious. Achieving them will require intense collaboration throughout our organization, from individuals to plants to our corporate leadership. Glass waste from our manufacturing process is our largest category of waste, and our biggest challenge. And while non-manufacturing waste is a significantly smaller part of our overall footprint, our efforts there are indicative of our companywide determination to seek solutions wherever possible. This is particularly urgent as landfill space, especially outside the U.S., becomes increasingly scarce. In the world of manufacturing today, some degree of waste is inevitable, but Owens Corning has the resources, the talent, and the drive necessary to develop the solutions that will help us become a zero waste-to-landfill company.
