Follow our six simple steps to fulfil your obligation to the 'Government Waste Hierarchy' while delivering cost savings and developing better environmental processes
Use fewer materials in the design and manufacturing process, whilst keeping up to date with the latest industry developments. New processes, materials and techniques are designed to reduce waste throughout the entire life of a project.
Identify the waste components of each process which can be reused, repaired or refurbished without the need for removal or processing off-site. Reduce waste and increase revenues by thinking of waste as a redundant asset.
Actively encourage the company to discover how waste can be turned in to new materials or products. We’ll help you identify the cost benefits and how these methods can be used to help reduce the company’s environmental footprint.
Consider how materials and energy can be recovered from waste. Processing waste with digestion, incineration, gasification and pyrolysis can produce energy and raw materials, reduce overheads and benefit the environment.
Embrace the opportunity to reclaim material that was previously considered waste. Strong demand exists for reclaimed materials such as handmade bricks, oak panels, pine floors and sanitary ware. Produce new revenue streams whilst cutting waste.
When every opportunity has been exhausted, waste may still need to be removed from site. All waste must still be removed responsibly. Identifying suitable destinations and processing can reduce the overall carbon footprint and environmental impact.
