Baseline Data

EPA asks new WasteWise partners to submit baseline waste reduction data within two months of joining the program. By establishing this baseline and reporting it to WasteWise, your organization will not only be equipped to measure future progress of your waste reduction efforts, but also be able to effectively focus on reduction areas. Your WasteWise goals define the scope and focus of your organization's waste reduction programs.

Annual Data

WasteWise partners should annually report their WasteWise-related activities to help your organization and EPA better understand your WasteWise activities. As you complete the WasteWise Assessment Form each year, you will be able to see how far you have come as a partner and how much progress you have made towards your goals. New goals may be set annually, allowing greater flexibility in your organization's WasteWise program.

Letting others know about successes and progress toward WasteWise Program goals is equally important, and it is a great reward for a job well done. WasteWise continues to make reporting as rewarding and simple as possible for partners. Partners submitting annual data are eligible to apply for WasteWise awards and will receive a certificate commending their organization for reporting annual achievements.

There are two ways to complete and submit the WasteWise Assessment Form, in hard copy and via the Electronic Reporting System.
