West Liberty Foods’ (WLF) Tremonton, UT facility has successfully achieved landfill-free status. This status was independently verified by NSF International Strategic Registrations Ltd. (NSF-ISR). NSF-ISR’s parent organization, NSF International, writes standards and tests that certify products for the food, water, building products and consumer goods industries. West Liberty Foods is among the first companies in the US to have its landfill-free claim verified by a third-party organization.
The NSF-ISR verification process was used to ensure that West Liberty Foods could demonstrate the total waste from its Tremonton facility entering the landfill was less than the industry acceptable 1 percent. Through working to accomplish this status, West Liberty Foods’ Tremonton facility has successfully diverted nearly 3.5 million pounds of annual waste from the local landfill.
