2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Reducing Our Environmental Footprint | Waste Management | 187 Excellence in Waste Diversion Owens Corning recognizes the commitment that our facilities around the world have made to manage waste, and we honor those plants who achieve greater than 80% landfill diversion. We use an internal rating system focused on diversion from landfill compared to total waste generated. In 2021, 36 plants achieved greater than 80% landfill diversion.

We continue to evaluate and improve upon the methods and mechanisms to track waste streams that are ultimately recycled, reused, or landfilled. When available, we use waste management or recycler invoices in our data reporting; otherwise, we rely on on-site weight scales. In the absence of scales, we use calculated estimates to determine the weights of our shipments. We assess our performance based on the final disposition of each material.
