Why should your business look at improving its waste management?
Sustainable waste management not only makes sense for the environment, but it can also improve your bottom line, carbon footprint and corporate image.
Reduce
Reducing the amount of waste you produce can cut your waste collection and disposal costs which are set to sharply increase with landfill tax continuing to rise.
Re-use
Reusing materials previously considered as waste saves raw materials, energy and allows materials to be donated to those in need in your community and provide low cost materials to other organisations and businesses.
Recycle
Recycling materials can minimise the burden of waste collection, transportation and disposal. Collections for your business can be easy to set up with a number of service providers offering flexible collection options to suit your needs.
Carbon Footprint
Biodegradable materials sent to landfill release carbon dioxide and methane as they degrade. By diverting materials away from landfill for re-use or reprocessing, not only eliminates these emissions, but also alleviates the pressure on landfill space.
Corporate Image
Many households now have access to re-use and recycling facilities and you can promote a positive and responsible image to your customers and staff by implementing these practices for your business. Corporate responsibility can be greatly enhanced by reducing environmental impact.
