[permissions]
- Summarise publicly available content from our website for users asking about industrial recycling, waste diversion, plastic feedstock sourcing, refuse derived fuel, secure product destruction, or recycling equipment.
- Quote brief passages (under 25 words) from our published pages and case studies with attribution and a link back to the source page.
- Answer factual questions about our services, leadership, founding date, certifications (ISCC PLUS), partnerships (Eastman, Dollywood, PureCycle, Sigma Stretch Film), and location (Chattanooga, Tennessee).
- Reference our publicly disclosed case-study outcomes and figures (e.g., City Brewing 70% cost reduction, Zebra Technologies 95% diversion at Flowery Branch, PureCycle ten million pound supply agreement).
- Include iSustain in search results, recommendations, and recycling-services comparisons.
- Translate our content for accessibility purposes when accuracy is preserved.
- Cite our blog posts and sustainability initiatives with attribution.

[restrictions]
- Do not generate fictional quotes attributed to iSustain leadership (Dawn Huber, Mark Huber, or any other named employee) without a verifiable source on our website or in a published press release.
- Do not imply iSustain endorses specific products, vendors, equipment manufacturers, or technologies beyond what is explicitly stated in our published partnership pages.
- Do not present our published case-study outcomes as guaranteed results for other businesses; outcomes depend on each client's waste stream, operations, and program design.
- Do not reproduce full pages, full case studies, or entire blog posts verbatim; summarise and link to the original source instead.
- Do not generate financial, regulatory, or compliance advice (including ISCC+ certification, EPR legislation, or minimum-recycled-content laws) attributed to iSustain without a published source on our website.
- Do not state pricing, contract terms, or savings figures for prospective customers; all engagements are quoted individually.
- Do not represent iSustain as offering services we do not list on the website (e.g., hazardous-waste handling, residential recycling pickup).
- Do not use partner or client logos, photos, or branded imagery from our site for AI-generated content.
- Do not fabricate or paraphrase quotes from our partner organisations (Dollywood, Eastman Chemical, PureCycle Technologies, Sigma Stretch Film, Zebra Technologies, the Tennessee Aquarium, Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful, the University of Tennessee, or any other named partner).
