Reducing waste and introducing recycling systems will deliver a range of benefits to enhance your business.
Benefits include:
- financial savings - costs of transport and disposal of waste are increasing and there are also impending regulatory changes - ie bans on some materials going to landfill
- risk management - appropriate waste management minimises risk to organisations both in terms of prevention of environmental harm and public perception
- demonstration of good practice - through annual reporting and feedback to staff
- staff morale - the ability to make a difference by participating in workplace recycling systems improves morale.
Zero Waste SA has developed the recycle right at work grants program to encourage waste and recycling companies to offer improved recycling collection services for Adelaide's small-to-medium sized businesses. Ask your waste contractor if they provide services under this funding program.
Find out what to recycle in your business and how to recycle on the Zero Waste SA website.
