Everything is Connected

Everything is connected in natural systems. And it is the same for the materials, products and systems that humans create. Our actions in these areas will ultimately determine if we have a sustainable planet going into the future. Dr. John Elter, our Founder, is recognized as the “Father of Zero-to-Landfill” due to his leadership with delivery of Xerox’s first fully renewable digital networked family of products. John took his team to visit landfills and organized activities and training that resulted in developing deep, long lasting values in the people involved. John demonstrated that it is good business to mimic the way resources are used in natural systems.

John is a true visionary in the field of industrial ecology. Currently John combines his extensive experience with those of his associates to help clients achieve sustainability goals. We configure sustainable systems, deploy sustainable practices into processes, develop renewable products and invigorate innovative people. Sustainable Systems works with people around our planet to provide services, training and guidance to achieve “Zero to Landfill” goals.
