Your comprehensive guide to getting ready for bc菠菜论坛
We’re breaking down the bc菠菜论坛 Zero Waste certification process and sharing the most important steps to take in getting ready for bc菠菜论坛 certification:
Define and register your project
A natural first step is to consider what you are certifying. bc菠菜论坛 projects are typically defined by the legal property boundary; however, GBCI may allow alternative boundaries that are completely contained within the site in order to certify a single building or area. If you are using an alternative boundary, provide information about it on your 注册表单 for GBCI to consider.
Once you know your project boundaries, register your project by completing the 注册表单 然后 用电子邮件发给我们. 项目 do not need to meet all of the requirements or be ready to certify in order to register. We recommend registering as early as possible to obtain access to the tools you will need to apply for certification, along with helpful resources such as submittal process guidelines and access to GBCI staff for technical support. Once you’ve submitted the 注册表单, GBCI will reach out with information and guidance to complete the registration process. And once you’re registered, GBCI will provide access to additional resources to complete the submission and review process.

Set up the framework and assess where you stand
Start by meeting with your team to discuss next steps and your desired outcomes. 这里有 a few questions to ask:
- Who should be compiling the submittal and who will have the information you need to submit?
- Do you want to select a particular certification level or point score to aim for?
- Is there a date you want to earn your certification by?
- What analyses need to be completed to understand your waste streams, current diversion performance and next steps?
- What opportunities do you have to further improve? Can you do it in time for certification?
- Are there any programs or diversion activities in place that you may not know about?
- Do you have any incomplete or inaccurate diversion data? What is the first available data we have on our diversion activities?
The certification review process takes approximately 8 weeks, so plan accordingly if you have a targeted certification date.
Next, analyze your current program with a focus on identifying gaps. 填写汇票 真实申请表格 is a great tool to see where you stand. Determine if your project currently meets all seven requirements or if there are steps you need to take to be in compliance. You should also plan to review the credits to understand which you could earn now and which you could earn by implementing new policies and practices.
实现
After getting a clear picture of where you stand, start writing policies and implementing practices that address currently unachievable credits and requirements. Conduct performance analyses and collect data and documentation to ensure you’re meeting minimum requirements and are on the right track to earn credits.
As you proceed, save documents for your submittal and start drafting credit narratives. Prior to submitting your application, you also have the opportunity to hold one or more calls with a GBCI staff member to clear up any outstanding questions you have on credits and requirements.
