The Trigger

A study on Competitiveness, Innovation and Sustainability was conducted by SNS in early 2005 highlighting that :

“Companies need to look at waste reduction and develop new environmental techniques and improved housekeeping practices”.

Variety of Tools Used

SLIDE 9

Reductions achieved through WEM

SLIDE 10

Energy

Energy champions Motion sensors Reducing thermostat settings Removal of mobile electrical heaters where

possible

Awareness signs and campaign Machine running hours Change to a supplier of renewable sources of

electricity.

SLIDE 11

Waste

Reduce, reuse, recycle programmes Production waste segregation Print settings Waste exchange Canteen and office waste recycling schemes Better Awareness Better labelling on recycling bins

SLIDE 12

Findings

65%

Energy Performance Indicator - % of companies

Good 57% Acceptable 10% Poor 33%

41% 50% 85% 80%

SLIDE 13

Implemented improvements

Approximately 20 tonnes of waste metals from

landfill per annum and revenue generated

Energy saving of over 13% in kwh usage 38% decrease in landfill bound waste 39% companies implemented canteen and office

waste recycling schemes

93% companies registered on the LCEA Energy

Management Certification Scheme in association with NSAI.

SLIDE 14

Other Benefits

50% of companies would not have reviewed waste and

energy streams

Companies’ pallet numbers were recorded and where

possible an exchange scheme was set up

Anti‐static bags exchange developed Energy champions appointed in several companies to

encourage and promote energy efficiency amongst their staff.

Dissemination

SLIDE 16

Significant Obstacles

The collection of data
money /units
Inflexible tools
Recommendations
General / specific
Time constraints
No training

SLIDE 17

Conclusions

Quantities of waste generated and energy used not

monitored

Lack of awareness about waste disposal / return options Energy use of appliances on standby not recognised The use of an existing network saved time and cost A more comprehensive data set would result in more

accurate reporting
