Changing the conversation to resource not waste

Waste has the power to cause serious environmental problems, as well as health and safety hazards – but you may not know that it also presents a huge opportunity to drive positive change.

The key is to rethink our current approach. With ever-tightening budgets, we know that most organisations are looking for the maximum removal of waste for the lowest price. It’s understandable, but it needs to change.

At Mitie, we strongly believe that it’s time for the first two stages of the waste hierarchy – ‘reduce’ and ‘reuse’ – to be prioritised before getting to the ‘recycle’ stage. And all of that is before we even consider ‘remove’.

In other words, if we reduce waste in the first place, we will also reduce the cost, time and effort required to take it away. Any waste that’s left over should then be viewed as a resource – helping to feed the circular economy.

With this change of mindset, waste, cost and carbon benefits can be surprisingly simple and fast to achieve, and with the use of some problem-solving skills, will only require minimal investment.

Yes, there are challenges to face. But by working with the right partner, you can overcome them with ease – and we’d like to show you how.
