Cleaning & Hygiene
edge sensors which can monitor waste levels in real-time. This allows for more efficient waste collection schedules whilst reducing CO2
production from unnecessary pickups. Businesses can also adopt emerging technologies such
as artificial intelligence, robotics and smart buildings to not just streamline core business operations but create sustainable and energy-efficient environments. By using data and analytics as a driver, facilities managers can track the effectiveness of their waste management strategies and adjust where necessary to maximise their impact.
Another critical aspect of delivering excellent sustainable waste management is adopting the principles of the circular economy. Unlike traditional linear economic models which follows the ‘take, make, dispose’ model, a circular economy’s primary aim is to keep resources and materials in use for as long as possible. To adopt a circular economy model, businesses can design their products for longevity and ensure that their services facilitate repair and refurbishment and that any materials are effectively recycled at the end of the life cycle. We work closely with our customers by using our Sustainability Management System to ensure eco-friendly practices, such as waste reduction or intelligent building management, are enforced. This helps our customers contribute to the circular economy by minimising the amount of waste going to landfill.
Sustainable waste management can be a difficult challenge and to be successful, a holistic approach is needed. Efficient waste management strategies, ones which cover everything from daily refuse removal to secure document disposal, can not only reduce a business’ impact on the environment, but it can bring financial benefits too. For example, an extensive recycling program can not only reduce the volume of waste being sent to landfill, but it can attract new environmentally conscious customers and partners as a result.
By prioritising waste prevention, promoting recycling and reuse initiatives, and leveraging data and technology, facility managers can make a substantial impact, building a cleaner and more sustainable future.
