The SWEEP Standard, a small environmental services organization based in New York, New York, functions as a leadership framework to guide communities and the waste industry toward sustainable, efficient, and economically viable materials management. Its objective is to support continuous improvement toward a zero-waste society by setting standards for solid waste practices.

Context cited by the organization notes that the United States generates more than 400 million tons of municipal solid waste annually, with over 60 percent disposed in landfills and the remainder recycled or incinerated, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions through material loss and methane from organics. The framework promotes integrated Sustainable Materials Management as a way to reclaim and repurpose a large share of discarded materials—up to 95 percent—while reducing overall disposal.
