Waste and Resource Management

The challenge of sustainable waste management faces most organisations due to stakeholder and corporate responsibility pressures, increasing regulatory drivers, Government recycling targets and rising waste disposal costs.  The effective disposal of waste incurs direct costs to businesses as well as impacting liabilities on the balance sheet and is now an integral part of business strategy and production process.

Organisations across the world are challenged with:

• Eliminating or reducing waste at source
• Reusing waste
• Increasing recovery and recycling rates
• Reducing hazardous content in waste
• Meeting safe and legal disposal obligations

The effective implementation of such initiatives not only helps to mitigate risk and meet domestic and international regulatory requirements in relation to waste, but critically, helps to reduce the business cost of managing and disposing of waste.
