Zero Waste Farnborough

At Farnborough Waste company, we are constantly working towards a zero waste management solutio. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly and cost efficient way of reducing the waste output of your company to zero, we are a place you want to be. We drive for zero landfill waste, ensuring that all the waste we collect does not end up in landfills. 

What is Meant by Zero Waste?

Some organisations define zero waste as the conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health. But, you could also look at it as ensuring that your business is creating as little waste as possible by employing eco-friendly waste management methods such as finding alternatives to some packaging materials or what to do with what you consider food waste.

Zero Waste is an ethical goal that is also economical, efficient and visionary, to guide our businesses to change their lifestyles and practices to be more on the sustainable side, where all waste materials are designed to become resources for others to use. Zero Waste promotes the highest and best use of materials to eliminate or reduce waste and pollution, emphasizing a closed-loop system of production such as recycling. Zero waste initiative means Instead of viewing used materials as waste in need of disposal, materials are recognized as valuable resources.  

What are The Benefits of Zero Waste?

Zero waste reduces our climate impact. By reducing, reusing and recycling our waste output, we’re playing a key part in a climate change strategy to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Zero waste efforts also force us to use less toxic and more environmentally friendly materials in production and manufacturing.

This holistic approach to waste management also helps us in addressing the problem of unsustainable resource flows. It also encourages manufacturers to manufacture products that are repairable and easily disassembled at the end of their useful life to be remade to something useful again, like how  recycled glass can be used as an energy source.

Zero waste is about changing consumption patterns, more carefully managing the product purchases we make, and maximizing the reuse of materials at the end of their useful life.

Implementing Zero Waste will eliminate all waste being sent to land, our oceans, rivers, and dams as well as air pollution caused by excess waste that are a threat to planetary, human, animal or plant health.

How to Become a Zero Waste Business

As a business, you also have a role to play in the grand scheme of things when it comes to zero waste strategies. The first step is getting waste audits. We cannot stress this enough. Waste audits will help you understand how much waste your business makes and we’ll also provide you with ways you can implement to help you reduce the said waste. 

For example, if your waste audit reveals that a huge percentage of waste that can be recycled are ending up being thrown away, you can take corrective steps that would not only reduce waste, but might even uncover a sizable revenue stream. 

Zero waste is important if we are to save the planet for future generations. If you want to learn more, contact Farnborough waste company on 01256 520 499
