Week 26: Save your company money by cutting waste…

This started off by finding out more about the Environment Agency’s Waste Minimisation Club at www.environment-agency.gov.uk/subjects/waste . I believe that in four years 120 clubs have shown 1000 members how to save £20million by cutting waste.

Then I visited www.envirowise.gov.uk, who say they save UK businesses up to £1000 per employee – and for companies with less that 250 employees they will arrange a free visit to help you do this.

The one that really excited me though was www.save-a-cup.co.uk which recycles your vending machine cups into something useful such as pens, delegate badges, key fobs etc, which you can have customised to market your own company! CIM used a lot of branded pens and delegate badges so I have sent this to our facilities manager, events and marketing managers to see if I can get them excited too.
