Successful waste minimisation depends on regular measurement and analysis of resources used (raw materials, utilities and packaging) and wastes produced. This Good Practice Guide explains how a ‘measuring to manage’ programme can help companies save money by improving the management of their processes to become more resource efficient. The Guide describes how to gather and analyse relevant data, and how to make use of the information to achieve cost-effective improvements to reduce waste and resource use. Industry examples illustrate the cost and other benefits that can be achieved by this approach.
