Fat Tire producer New Belgium Brewing has achieved platinum recognition, the highest certification level possible from the U.S. Zero Waste Business Council (USZWBC) for its waste reduction efforts as the brewery now diverts 99.9 percent waste away from landfills.
“Being environmental stewards has been important to New Belgium since day one 25 years ago, and our efforts toward mitigating and managing our waste are a key component of this stewardship,” says Nick Ampe, environmental health specialist at New Belgium.
