Waste minimization is preventing waste, rather
than trying to get rid of it. Rather than using methods of "the old
business model" be a "smart business" and start looking
"up-the-pipe" at the source of the waste.
By
not creating waste, by designing it out of the process; your company
can prevent resources from being wasted. Waste minimization will
involve changes to three key areas.
- Change
your inputs
Use
your resources more efficiently. Replace inefficient systems,
products and materials with more efficient ones.
- Change
your processes
Introduce clean technology or improve operating
practices. Improve equipment or change the layout and current
inefficient processes.
- Change
your outputs
Your
outputs can include your products and your waste. Reduce
environmental impacts by designing new systems. Separate waste
materials for resource recovery and
savings.
Waste minimisation will help your company
improve profits, reduce waste and sustain the environment. In
today's environmentally-conscious world, companies need to improve
their environmental performance.
