The Resource Wise Programme is a free programme designed to help your organisation, whether you're a business or school, to reduce waste to landfill.
We are here to work with you to improve how your organisation manages resources.
The programme consists of five stages for organisations to work through. Each stage has actions that involve education and reducing waste to landfill.
Join the Resource Wise Programme
Participants benefit from:
- Waste audits – to identify what waste is produced at the organisation
- Waste audit reports and action plans – to summarise the findings of the waste audit and identify where and how waste can be reduced
- Education – access to waste minimisation education via presentations, workshops or classroom education (schools only)
- One-on-one support – to provide guidance on ways to reduce waste and achieve higher stages
- Practical resources – to reduce waste and help educate e.g. signs, posters and advice
- Recognition – to award organisations for their efforts e.g. certificates and branded Resource Wise logos to promote their waste reduction performance
