Some of the benefits of proactive commercial waste management include:
Enhances Sustainability
The ability to manage water, waste, and energy helps improve the sustainability of your organization. Improving sustainability can help with boosting your corporate image, attract new people to the building or property and create a positive environment for employees.
Understanding Your Waste
Savings
Waste Tracking
Waste is an often overlooked opportunity for an organization to improve its sustainability, reduce costs and prevent greenhouse gas emissions. However, before any of it can be done, you need to track the amount of waste currently being generated. Tracking and recycling is the foundation to running a successful waste reduction program.
Online tools like Energy Star Portfolio Manager are free and easy to use. The tool can be used to benchmark the performance of your commercial building or a portfolio of many buildings. The consistent set of metrics help assess and manage your waste management activities.
Build A Team
One of the best ways to manage waste is to get others involved and follow a waste reduction program. You can leverage an existing team, but consider focusing on waste reduction. It may require bringing in more team members who work to reduce waste and focus on recycling measures.
If there isn’t a team in place, consider creating a green team, a group that’s responsible for planning, designing and implementing all the waste reduction activities needed. The team then needs to be assigned responsibilities that include working with management on long- and short-term goals, gathering and analyzing data, and monitoring progress.
Set Realistic and Clear Goals
It is essential to set clear and measurable goals for your green teams. Examine the tracking data to set a benchmark. Clear goals help to prioritize activities that help prevent waste while expanding on recycling programs. You can then track progress towards those goals based on your initially established benchmark.
One of the ways to set goals or establish them is to conduct a waste assessment. The information from the assessment will pinpoint which areas need to be focused on to reduce waste.
