Reduce your business's resource use and waste

By reducing waste and recycling more, your business can:

• save money on waste collections
• ensure compliance with the pre-treatment of waste regulation
• reduce your carbon footprint
• achieve ISO accreditation

By improving water efficiency, your business can:

• save money – typically around 30% if no measures have previously been implemented
• reduce your impact on the environment

These measures can enhance your reputation as a socially responsible business and increase your competitive advantage.
