TAKE – MAKE - WASTE
• We still throw away 60% of everything we use.
• It takes 10t of material to make 1t of product.
• 80% products discarded after single use.
• It takes 1300litres of water to produce 1Kg of
wheat.
• The true cost of waste = 4% of turnover.
• Revised Waste Strategy.
• Resource depletion e.g. Copper, Lead,
Transition Metals

RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
What is Resource Efficiency? • It is about sustainable management and use of resources throughout their life cycle - from extraction, transport, transformation, consumption to the disposal of waste.
• It means producing more value with less material and consuming differently, to limit the risks linked with scarcity and for less environmental impacts, within our planet’s natural limits.
• Resources include all material and natural resources, from food, timber, and biodiversity in the widest sense, to energy,
metals, soil, water, minerals, our atmosphere and land.

WASTE
What is Waste?
• “any substance or object which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard.”

FISCAL MEASURES
• Landfill Tax – Now £64/tonne – Are you paying landfill tax on waste that is being recycled?
• Packaging Recovery Notes (PRNs) – If you use packaging are you registered? – If you recycle packaging could you sell PRNs
• Water & Sewerage Charges – Are you being charged too much?
• Waste Disposal Charges – Are you using the correct EWC code? – Are you being charged twice?
• Rebates – Are you being properly paid for recyclable waste?

TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGIES
• Techniques – Internal audits – Waste mapping – Green teams – Environmental
Management Systems – Measuring and
Monitoring – Key Performance
Indicators
• Technologies – Clean technologies – Energy reduction – Recirculation systems – Solvent substitution – Segregation – Preparation for
recycling

RETHINK AND REDESIGN (PREVENTION)
• Hardest place to start • Most costly • Most beneficial • We’ve always done it this way • Should always be on the agenda at Board
level • Circular Economy

MONITORING AND TARGETING
“If you don’t measure it you can’t manage it!” • Sources of information
– Duty of Care notes – Weighbridge dockets – Number of skips/ bins/ bags – Bales of waste – Meter readings – Bucket & stopwatch – Number of tankers – ASK YOUR PEOPLE!
![Page 16: Sustainex 2013 - InvestNI Resource Efficiency Waste Minimisation Trevor Knipe (PDF)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052700/55a1b1a51a28abaf538b45cb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPI)
Reference wasted resources to units of production.
• Examples of KPIs – Tonnes of waste per tonne of production – % of product produced but not sold – % of product returned from customer – Tonnes of raw material per tonne of production – Volume/ cost of water per tonne of product

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WASTE – FLIPCHART EXERCISE
1. What is it? 2. Could it be reduced? 3. Could it be reused? 4. Could it be recycled? 5. And the answer is?
