EN504 Introduction to the waste hierarchy

Cover image showing: EN504 Introduction to the waste hierarchy

The waste hierarchy identifies waste disposal options and ranks them in order of increasing environmental impact.
All companies should aim to eliminate waste from the onset, but if this is not practical or possible, then consider reducing, re-using or recycling waste. If none of these steps apply, then dispose of waste in a responsible manner.
