Prevention & Minimisation

The key thing to remember is that on-site waste costs money, time and management; there are also many external costs This is in some ways analagous of an ice-berg – nearly all of the associated costs are hidden and are entirely profit depleting.

The goal of any organistaion therefore should be source reduction - eliminate the need to manage waste by looking at the inputs to the system.

Greenstreets can help organisations achieve this goal by putting in place proper benchmarking and management processes.

This should become an on-going process which would include regular reviews of contracts and arrangements with existing service providers as well as with new suppliers.
