State Farm® is the first Property & Casualty Insurance Company worldwide to achieve TRUE zero waste facility certifications. The South Carolina Multi-Regional Services Facility (MRSF) became TRUE zero waste certified in late 2023, achieving an impressive 96.3% overall diversion rate.
State Farm & MRSF zero waste initiatives:
• Established an internal zero waste goal in 2022 to achieve a 90% diversion rate at select sites.
• Formalized a Zero Waste Policy based on TRUE strategies.
• Reduced the use of virgin paper through 20% minimum post-consumer recycled paper for janitorial products and 30% minimum post-consumer recycled paper for office paper.
• Reused totes for storage and transport of materials, reducing the use of cardboard.
• Created systems to repair, reuse, redistribute, and recycle electronic assets and e-waste.
The MRSF teams are committed to processes which reduce landfill waste, while exploring opportunities to reuse and recycle materials. The MRSF TRUE achievement is a testament to State Farm’s operational efficiencies, responsible use of resources, and sustainability initiatives.
