Reduce or reuse your waste

In business

Throwing anything away costs your business money. It can also harm your environmental credentials.

It’s easy to see your rubbish – the paper in the bin, the leftover food your customers haven’t eaten and the items you bought but can’t store anymore.

You can help the environment and save your business money by stopping these things becoming rubbish. You can also help your business become more efficient by understanding how to:

  • Reduce waste
  • Reuse items to get the most out of them
  • Cut your disposal costs by finding new homes for things and recycle the rest.

Most of the advice we give to people in homes still applies to your workplace or business so have a look through the ‘How to guides’, packaging, and swap and borrow sections.

In this section you will find information structured around the types of items wasted.
