Prevent and divert waste, lower costs, support the environment and local communities
Managing waste sustainably is beneficial for all businesses regardless of sector, size, or location. It is also beneficial for the natural environment and mitigating climate change. Through waste prevention and diversion, businesses can reduce costs associated with disposal and procuring new products. When we divert material for reuse, repurposing, remanufacturing, and recycling, we minimize the need for resource extraction to make new products and avoid GHG emissions associated with landfilling material.
Sustainable waste management is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly business strategy that also benefits the wider community. By diverting otherwise wasted goods to communities in need of reuse, or to innovators turning waste into new resources, businesses are supporting the circular economy.
