Iqbal will help develop diversion and recycling programs that help companies meet waste reduction and sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am looking forward to creating a program where we not only&nbsp;assist our large corporate clients in becoming more sustainable in their operations, but also ZTERS. As a fast-growing company that provides many services and operates nationwide, I am glad that our leadership sees the vision of following and supporting eco-friendly best practices,\u201d Iqbal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a sustainability analyst and educator, Iqbal developed data-driven methods for implementing and analyzing successful waste management programs that focus on meeting or exceeding diversion and recycling goals. In his work with the City of San Antonio, he developed recycling programs that assisted companies in receiving sustainability certifications as well as decreasing operational costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to have Uzair on the team. His breadth of experience with private and public waste management programs will help our customers build effective and longstanding sustainability initiatives,\u201d said ZTERS Commercial Waste Division Manager Dan Studer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As sustainable waste management practices become a stronger driver in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals and the circular economy, a dedicated sustainability manager will help ZTERS and its customers establish diversion and recycling goals and plan for the future. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the coming years, I see corporations implementing more sustainability initiatives and including circular economy models in their supply chain. The ability to have multiple outlets for waste so that it does not end up in landfills won\u2019t just be an environmental best practice but also a cost savings measure. This allows organizations to be more efficient in their operations processes,\u201d Iqbal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ZTERS Commercial Waste will roll out sustainability-focused consulting and service options starting in 2022.
