‘The application of a systematic approach to reducing the generation of waste at source.’

How will reducing waste help my business?

  • Cost savings (typically 1% of turnover) from

reduced raw material and waste disposal costs

  • Environmental improvement and compliance

with legislation

  • Commercial and strategic advantage -

improve standing with customers who seek assurance that suppliers are operating on a sound environmental basis

The waste hierarchy

  • Eliminate waste - best option
  • Reduce waste at source - through

careful purchase and better use of materials

  • Re-use materials, eg packaging
  • Recycle and recover materials - or sell

them to another company that can use them (NISP)

  • Disposal - least preferred and last resort
