Waste minimisation will reduce costs and make your company greener. Waste minimisation is a basic management philosophy and approach to achieve a more profitable business.

Many companies count the cost of waste disposal, but there are other hidden costs of waste. Instead of wasting raw materials, time and effort, and paying for effluent or landfill disposal, take steps to stop waste occurring in the first place and add to your bottom line.

Waste minimisation is the process of systematically reducing waste at source in all areas of the company such as:

· Raw materials and ingredients use
· Water consumption and effluent generation
· Packaging, factory and office consumables
· Energy consumption
· Wasted effort.

Waste management is not only for busineses. Whenever you can - recycle:

· Recycle at home and on the road.

· Invent new products from recyled waste.
