Reduce waste

Overview

Reducing waste will have a major impact on carbon and cost. All businesses need to reduce their waste to landfill and there is greater expectation from customers for recycled and recyclable products.

The key to waste management is a combination of Reduce, Recycle, Re-use and Redesign.

Key facts

Waste management is estimated to have been responsible for 4% of all greenhouse emissions in the UK in 2021.
From April 2025 landfill tax will rise to £126.15 per tonne.

Reduce

Reducing the amount of waste and packaging that cannot be recycled can have a major impact on carbon emissions.

Recycling

Recycling and re-using waste materials will save cost as well as carbon. Designing products to be recycled has a long term impact on carbon emissions and brand.

Water management

Every litre of water treated, pumped, drained and heated for your business drives carbon emissions. Reducing your water consumption will save carbon and cost.
