Waste Management and Resource Efficiency

To decouple economic growth from the waste that is generated, we need to use resources more efficiently, meaning producing more with less. Maximising the sustainable use of raw materials, products, packaging, and other assets, while minimising waste and expenses should be a ‘business as usual practice’ in most organisations.

The resources and waste sector is constantly evolving

There is a growing interest and understanding of the importance of shifting from a linear to a circular economy.  The resources and waste sector sits at the key point of this economy, making it a vital facilitator enabling both post-consumer and post-industrial resources to be fed back into the supply chain as raw materials.

The end-of-life management of products is a complex picture with options for re-use or recycling varying by country, city and material type. Each player within the system faces different challenges:

1. Producers of products must design products that fit into the available waste management systems;
2. Waste operators need to access the right quantity and quality of feedstock and align outputs with market demand (the circular economy in action);
3. For everyone else taking stock of their own waste production, it is critical to assess where to save resources and money and contribute to the circular economy by maximising recycling performance.

Navigating the expanse of information to support decisive action is something that benefits from specialist expertise.
