Why is a waste audit important for your company?
A waste audit is important to be able to identify the most cost-effective waste minimisation opportunities available to your company.
Investing in a well-planned waste audit will give you the necessary information to begin with initial simple waste management measures where the savings are clear and quick to achieve, such as segregating, and recycling waste generated by product packaging. At the same time, a waste audit will provide your company with the information to plan more complex measures, which need more preparation and investment, such as redesigning products, or optimising processes and technology used in the processing of raw materials.
The waste audit is ideally carried out as part of the overall resource efficiency assessment so that the result can be easily integrated into a single coordinated resource efficiency action plan. It is recommended to consider an external qualified service provider to support the execution of the waste audit for your company.
