Waste reduction hints and tips for your business
- Carry out a visual waste audit or assessment to determine waste composition (have a look in your bins and see what is in there!)
- Develop a vision and set small, achievable goals to reduce waste.
- Set up an Enviro or Green team of enthusiastic staff to champion.
- Set up photocopiers to print double sided as default.
- Washable cups can be used to replace disposable coffee cups which end up in landfill.
- Set up a composting system to deal with food scraps or have a waste company collect for you.
It can really help if your staff and customers are aware of exactly which items can be recycled
