1. Operational Benefits
In a smaller business every penny counts, so some small changes to how you manage waste could make financial sense. By segregating the amount of; cardboard, paper, plastics, cans and glass you will reduce costs as suppliers will not charge you landfill rates. Furthermore if you are adding a lot of food waste to general waste containers you could benefit by separating into specific food waste bins at a lower cost. Not only will you pay less on your container lifts, but you’ll lower the weight of your general waste bins and could reduce the number of visits needed by your supplier.

2. Company Reputation
By documenting changes or by working with a waste consultancy (like us!) you can create some positive PR on the improvements made. Positive PR will not only attract new clients but also strengthen your existing customer base. Small changes to your waste management plan will create some positive social media content for your company and help you interact with followers. We also help our clients add to their website with the progress our clients are making! Larger changes such as adding technology to improve your recycling levels will make newsworthy content that we forward to local press outlets on behalf of our clients.

3. Employee Satisfaction
We are all becoming more environmentally focused and can’t escape seeing the impact of waste every day through news outlets or tv coverage. It can be really disheartening for your team to spend time and effort recycling at home to then come into your business and see everything going into one bin. Challenge your employees to separate their waste, create ‘Green Champions’ and update them why your company wants to improve

We love working with companies that want to make a difference and SHOUT about it.
