Waste Minimisation
It should be recognised that waste is one part of resource
efficiency savings (water, energy and waste) and the total
potential saving a company can make is much greater. Generally,
resource efficiency projects have proven that savings can amount to
as much of 1% of turnover. This demonstrates that apart from the
environmental gain there are good economic reasons for business to
address their waste production.
SEPA’s Waste Minimisation team provides advice to a wide range
of businesses, from small retail outlets to large manufacturing
companies, on how to achieve significant cost savings and
environmental benefits by addressing waste minimisation on their
own premises.
