An audit is a useful process for examining what materials and wastes are generated by your business over a given period.

The service can range from a single day snapshot, to multiple strategic audits in which emerge studies the quantity and types of waste produced. The data gathered proves useful in reassessing waste costs and discovering resources that can be reclaimed instead of thrown away.

 

It is estimated that the true average cost of waste is usually ten times the
cost of disposal and it can be up to 4% of an organisation's turnover!

An environmental or waste audit would help your company to identify savings and investigate options to increase your sustainability.

To give you an idea;

emerge recently completed a waste audit for Kellogg’s HQ in Old Trafford. Bruce Learner Community and Social Responsibility Manager said:

"emerge made the process very easy and convenient for us, there were no interruptions to work and yet the findings have enabled us to begin to make great changes in the way we manage, and think about, waste. These changes will, we hope, result in us reducing costs as well as our environmental impact. I would recommend the emerge Waste Audit to any Company serious about reducing their waste"
