Reducing the amount of waste generated and introducing recycling systems in your work place brings a range of benefits, including:
- financial savings - costs of transport and disposal of waste are increasing; also impending regulatory changes i.e. bans on some materials going to landfill
- risk management - appropriate waste management minimises risk to organisations both in terms of prevention of environmental harm and public perception
- demonstrates good practice - through annual reporting and feedback to staff
- staff morale – the ability to make a difference by participating in workplace recycling systems improves morale.
