“The consistency matters,” said Matthew Beard, Executive Director of Strategic Planning, Management Systems, and Sustainability at Brewer Science. “Eleven consecutive years of Zero Waste to Landfill certification demonstrates our commitment to improving our processes, finding more innovative ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle our waste, thus leading to more sustainable business operations and having a positive impact on our supply chain.”

Environmental leadership rooted in verification and results

The 2026 Impact Report highlights continued momentum toward Brewer Science’s climate and waste-reduction goals, including:

• • More than 631 tons of material diverted from landfills over the past decade
  • 56% of generated waste reused or recycled during the most recent reporting period
  • Over 75% of hazardous waste volume diverted annually to reuse applications
  • 100% renewable energy consumption achieved annually
  • 5% reduction in Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions year over year
  • Continued progress toward reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 80% by 2030 (from a 2018 baseline) and achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050

  Brewer Science’s Zero Waste to Landfill certification verifies that 100% of waste leaving company facilities is diverted through approved methods such as reuse, recycling, composting, or source reduction. GreenCircle Certified’s program is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous third-party validations of waste diversion claims.

   

  People, community, and industry impact

  Beyond environmental performance, the Impact Report details how Brewer Science’s sustainability commitments extend to its workforce, communities, and industry partnerships:

  • • Named a Top Workplace in the Manufacturing Industry for the fifth consecutive year
    • Employee-owners volunteered more than 3,200 hours to 129 organizations
    • Supported STEM education, early childhood education, and workforce development initiatives across local and national communities
    • Continued leadership as a founding member of the Semiconductor Climate Consortium, collaborating with peers to reduce emissions across the global semiconductor supply chain
    • Ongoing innovation in PFAS‑free materials development, aligning product performance with environmental responsibility

    A platform for collaboration and accountability

    The 2026 Impact Report also highlights Brewer Science’s Sustainability Outreach Program, which provides tools and education for employees, customers, suppliers, and community partners to drive meaningful, scalable environmental action.

    “Zero waste is not a finish line, it’s a responsibility we share,” Beard added. “We encourage our partners across the supply chain to align around verified sustainability standards and measurable impact.”
