Top tips for Businesses

1. Sign up to Talking Shop for quarterly updates from Envirowise on the latest news for your sector.
2. Call the Envirowise Advice Line to discuss with an advisor how to identify waste reduction opportunities.
3. Put together an environmental policy.
4. When refurbishing units, don’t throw away fixtures and fittings - some charities take furniture and can re-use or recycle it.
5. Do a walk around and identify what raw materials are used and what waste is produced by all areas of the business.
6. Get into the habit of reading meters regularly and plotting readings. This may help to identify any leaks.
