How To Execute An Efficient Waste-Management Plan For Your Business

Jun 27, 2018

Waste management is becoming a vital issue for business in Melbourne, with our landfills reaching high levels of capacity and government about to enforce tax increases to force citizens to recycle.

So how can your organisation be proactive to protect the environment and reduce your business expenses?

You understand the importance of plans to meet any goals, and the waste management plan is based on three basic foundations: reduce, reuse and recycle. It sounds simple, but how do you implement it in your business?

Assess your current waste

Determine the current state of waste in your business. You might be surprised to discover how much you’re throwing out.

• Make a note of your bin capacity on collection day.
• What is the collection frequency?
• What type of garbage does it consist of?
• Is it all directly related to your type of business?
• Identify every different form of waste that is regularly generated.
• Establish who is responsible for waste management in your company?

Once you’ve got a clear picture of your current status, you can start to look for areas that need improvement.

• Is there any area where you can reduce waste generation without affecting your business processes?
• Are you throwing out office supplies that could be useful to someone else?
• Could you recover some of the waste by selling or donating it?
• Could some waste be safely recycled rather than trashed?
• Do you need help or advice from waste-management experts?
