All eight of MillerCoors’ major breweries have earned landfill-free verification from NSF International through its sustainability division. It is the first beverage company to have all of its major breweries verified as landfill-free by NSF International.

NSF International is an independent organization that verifies landfill-free programs for companies around the world. To earn verification, organizations must demonstrate that no more than 1 percent of waste generated at a single site, including recycling vendors, goes to the landfill. Additional criteria include documentation and implementation of waste sorting and management processes, active employee training programs, and routine audits to ensure compliance.

“Receiving verification from such a reputable organization like NSF International is a tremendous accomplishment, and a testament to the progress we have made as a company and to the work of our employees,” said Kim Marotta, MillerCoors director of sustainability.
