Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC launched an onsite composting program at its Elyria, Ohio-based headquarters in May 2016 and has since diverted more than 200 pounds of compostable waste each week, inching closer to its goal of becoming zero waste by 2020.
This week, as part of its Earth Day celebration, Bendix will launch the next phase of its composting program by installing custom countertops over trash receptacles in its dining area–one for composting, recycling and landfill.

Since May 2016, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC has diverted more than 200 pounds of compostable waste each week as the company closes in on its overall goal of becoming 100 percent landfill-free by 2020. In a program at Bendix’s Elyria, Ohio, headquarters, the company continues to improve its waste diversion efforts by composting organic food waste from its on-site kitchen and through a pilot program involving the office areas and a local nursery. The company has outpaced its compostable waste diversion goal for offices by more than 40 percent.
