Waste poses a significant threat to people and the planet. According to the United Nations, each year, an estimated 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste is collected worldwide and decay of the organic proportion of solid waste is contributing around 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Failing to dispose of waste responsibly can have devastating consequences for ecosystems, polluting rivers and oceans and causing a risk to public health.
Business large and small have a responsibility to manage and dispose of waste responsibly. Pressure is on from regulators and stakeholders to invest in effective business waste management to both reduce costs and environmental impact.
Calabash operate a zero waste to landfill policy. We work closely with our waste management partners to enhance our recycling rates and those of our clients.
To achieve this, our partners carry out comprehensive waste audits and make recommendations on enhancing recycling rates for our clients. This might involve training the cleaning team to correctly segregate and dispose of waste and raising awareness amongst stakeholders through signage, awareness campaigns and educational sessions.
In addition, we can provide detailed reporting on the carbon produced from our clients’ waste and advise on introducing additional waste streams.
