Diversion has long been a priority at Etsy, from the days when employees biked their compost to a farm near the company’s Brooklyn, N.Y., headquarters and tracked most its waste using a software created in-house. But Etsy’s sustainability efforts have expanded over the years, most recently with support of a green business certification program administered by U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
More than 130 companies or facilities have signed on for the certification program called TRUE Zero Waste.
