Cost savings can be achieved through a systematic resource efficiency and waste minimisation programme. An effective programme requires regular measurement and analysis of the resources (raw materials, energy, water etc…) used and the waste produced by your company. Envirowise provides an on-site visit service* which helps your company measure to manage the amount of resources being used.
The on-site visit service* assists you in:
- Gathering relevant data
- Analysing your data
- Establishing **Key Environmental Performance Indicators (KEPIs)
- Setting achievable cost effective improvement targets
The Benefits
- Helps you understand and reduce the true cost of waste
- Determines the benchmark against which to make further improvements
- Improve process performance and environmental compliance
- Identifies cost effective opportunities to reduce waste
The Savings
- Reduce waste costs by up to 1% of turnover or £1,000 per employee*
- Cut water and effluent bills by up to 50%
- Reduce energy bills by up to 20%
*2006 Envirowise Impact Assessment
**KEPI's cover issues such as water use, material use, waste generation etc. for example:
- Cubic metres of water used per tonne of product manufactured
- Tonnes of waste disposed of per item manufactured
Please note that the Measurement and Benchmarking service is only available within Scotland.
