Waste is any surplus material generated from a process that does not form part of the final product. Waste must be disposed of: costing you money and degrading the environment. Through resource efficiency, by preventing waste and emissions at source, organisations can maximise output and increase profits. Rubbish and waste can account for over 4% of business turnover. It's important to remember that each pound saved on material costs goes straight to the bottom line. Waste minimisation is about the systematic reduction of all forms of waste and may include energy, water, materials, effort, and process and production waste in order to conserve resources. You pay for waste twice - once to buy it in as a product or raw material and once to dispose of it. With landfill tax set to increase to £35 per tonne by 2007, maybe it's the right time to start minimising waste. Using Eastex can help minimise the amount of material your organisation disposes of to landfill or incineration. It brings together organisations with complementary requirements. One organisation's waste is another's raw material. Successful exchanges reduce the amount of potentially useful materials going to landfill. Register now and start saving!
