<h1>Pump manufacturer touts TRUE Platinum zero-waste certification and 98.2% diversion rate; legal risks for claims, contracts</h1> A Chennai-based pump manufacturing facility reports receipt of TRUE Platinum (zero waste) certification from the Green Business Certification Inc., claiming to be the first pump site to achieve this standard and citing a 98.2% waste diversion rate and prior LEED recognitions. Legally, the certification and quantified diversion rate can affect regulatory compliance assessments, marketing claims, procurement and supplier obligations, and contractual representations to customers or investors; they may also create expectations for ongoing operational controls and third-party verification. Risks include potential liability for misleading sustainability claims, breach of contractual warranties, and the need to document and retain evidence supporting the asserted practices and metrics.
