All of our activities produce waste, but with a rapidly growing population, and increasing demands for space and resources, minimising landfill and recycling materials is becoming more important for the local, national, and international environment.
The costs of waste disposal are continuing to rise and minimising waste, or realising opportunities to raise additional revenue from the waste stream, can significantly impact on an organisation’s cash flow.
Businesses are also increasingly being held accountable by their customers for a range of environmental and social factors, including use of raw materials and waste generation. Regulatory requirements for organisations to document and enact waste management policies and procedures look set to become more stringent in the very near future.
Waste Audits
BENSS provides waste audit and consultancy services for single sites, or multiple asset portfolios. We can assist with consultancy and Waste Management Plans for small organisations or large multinationals, and for all types of workplace.
Our consultants provide advice for recycling suitable materials identified in the waste stream, but also focus on opportunities to minimise waste in the first place through the purchasing system and modifying site operations.
If your organisation does not currently have a Waste Management Plan, we can develop one to suit individual circumstances.
If your organisation already operates in accordance with an environmental management system or waste management plan, we can assist with auditing current waste management practices against existing policies.
In many cases, reducing the amount of waste or increasing recycling opportunities can have benefits for the company bottom line as well as the environment, and having a documented Waste Management Plan provides reassurance for customers and stakholders the business is committed to a sustainable future.
