The person choosing the cup may not manage waste, but they may determine where it ends up. When procurement buys materials the local system cannot process, Operations inherits the contamination, Finance absorbs the added cost, and Compliance is left explaining the data.

NETZERO360™ helps Procurement, Operations, and Compliance align before the order is approved by checking local acceptance, strengthening vendor standards, simplifying materials, and measuring results.
