Waste Management

Overview

Lots of stuff gets reused in the office. There’s that coffee-stained Sports Direct mug knocking around the staff kitchen. Or that smile you put on when someone shows you a picture of their kids. Or even that same joke your boss has been telling for the last 7½ years. But that’s not the kind of recycling we’re interested in. No, today we’re talking about waste management.

Waste may be what we throw away, but it needn’t be a dirty word. Making your waste management more sustainable is a simple way to clean up your business and follow through on your green goals. By having effective waste management, you can cut down on consumption, better follow environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, and appear more environmentally minded to investors and consumers.
