DIN SPEC 91436 Certification: A measurable, audit‑ready Zero Waste framework

Accelerate your Zero Waste journey and enhance environmental performance reporting

Indian organisations face increasing expectations to demonstrate transparent, measurable waste reduction and responsible resource management, especially under BRSR Principle 6, which emphasises environmental stewardship and efficient resource use. 

While ISO 14001 provides an essential foundation, the transition toward true circularity requires a more holistic, measurable, and performance‑driven approach. DIN SPEC 91436 provides exactly that. 

This internationally recognised specification supports organisations in achieving their Zero Waste to Landfill goals through a structured, maturity‑based evaluation model focused on: 

• Waste avoidance
• Reuse & material recovery
• Composting & fermentation
• Recycling optimisation
• Minimisation of neutral & negative waste streams
• Continuous improvement culture

This webinar will explain how DIN SPEC 91436 enables credible Zero Waste certification, supports BRSR environmental disclosures, and accelerates your organisation’s transition to a circular economy.
