Increase Recycling without Increasing Costs

Most New Zealandns now recognise the benefits that recycling provides for our environment. As a result, many businesses are beginning to look for a more sustainable waste solution to minimise their carbon footprint and help keep our planet green. That being said, when it comes to business recycling, many owners are concerned about the cost of waste disposal and worry this will make it hard to increase their recycling efforts without increasing their business costs. But, the truth is that it actually pays to run an environmentally friendly business…

Running a business recycling programme not only helps to reduce the impact your workplace has on our environment but it also helps to save you money. In fact, an environmentally friendly company will have lower operational costs and become more efficient – all the while protecting New Zealand’s environment for many years to come. The reality is, that the choices we make right now will have long-term effects on our planet in the future, for good or for bad.

The first step to creating an efficient and sustainable business waste solution is to change your attitude towards waste. Rather than viewing it as rubbish, learn to see it as a commodity and a resource instead. The importance of Seregating wase at the source is vital. This ethos needs to be led from the top and be filtered down throughout departments – not only to those generating the waste but also to those involved in supply and procurement.

When creating a sustainable business waste solution, it’s important to look at ‘value.’ The cost of waste disposal is often measured in dollars and money-saving exercises are made on ‘like for like’ products that often don’t take innovation or value into account. In essence, short-term savings can actually be detrimental to maintaining a creative and efficient waste solution in the long-term. We find New Zealandn businesses that are prepared to embrace a fresh approach to recycling benefit much greater from smarter and more sustainable waste management.

Have a clear objective of what your business is hoping to achieve with your recycling efforts. Creating timescales and ways to measure your success means that you and your staff have benchmarks to work towards and it helps you and your team push on to achieve meaningful results.
