Zero Waste Audits is a new service offering by Valpak Consulting
which involves working with clients to identify their current waste arisings / composition,
recycling levels and costings. By applying the waste hierarchy approach of Reduce
Reuse and Recycle to an organisation's waste arisings, advice is given on how to
reduce the amount of waste going to landfill whilst optimising any potential revenue
from recyclate.
The amount of waste generated by an organisation is generally
related to the type of sector and number of full time employees (FTE). Below is
a guide to the minimum size of organisation that would benefit from a Zero Waste
Audit. It is based on the amount of waste organisations may produce, and the potential
savings they could make if recycling is optimised. Type of organisations include:
- retailers (15 FTE)
- manufacturing (10 FTE)
- hospitality sector (15 FTE)
- large public organisations
(40 FTE)
