🎶 On the twelfth day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... colour code recycling bins at my company 🎶 Make it super easy for your team to understand how to recycle waste at your business.
🎶 On the eleventh day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... eliminate single use plastics at my company 🎶 Use straws, cling film, plastic bags or single use plastic materials at your business? Commit to getting rid of them completely this year.
🎶 On the tenth day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... inspect the supply chain at my facility 🎶 Are the people you're buying goods or services from committed to reducing business waste too? Ask for proof, and if not... find another supplier!
🎶 On the ninth day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... repair equipment at my company 🎶 Computers, printers, phones... instead of throwing electronic equipment away, invest in a repair person to fix faulty items. That's so much better for the planet.
🎶 On the eighth day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... donate items from my company 🎶 Redecorating? Don't throw business table and chairs to landfill - consider donating items you no longer have use for (or even better, repairing fault items instead of replacing them).
🎶 On the seventh day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... educate employees at my company 🎶 Make sure everyone in your team knows how to correctly dispose of business waste.
🎶 On the sixth day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... change energy providers at my company 🎶 Want to be a sustainable business? Look into your suppliers. Many energy providers offer sustainably produced electricity. Why choose anything else?
🎶 On the fifth day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... ban coffee cups from my company 🎶 Did you know that most disposable coffee cups are not recyclable? Encourage your team to switch to reusable cups (or invest in some yourself).
🎶 On the fourth day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... get rid of plastic bottles at my company 🎶 Why not buy your team reusable bottles to avoid waste at your business (or encourage them to purchase their own)?
🎶 On the third day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... slash food waste at my company 🎶 Get that food recycling bin out pronto, and encourage staff to be mindful of the volume of food they pack each day. Won't eat it? Don't bring it in!
🎶 On the second day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... go paperless at my company 🎶 Still printing unnecessary things like contracts, bank statements or emails? Reduce business waste by going paperless.
🎶 On the first day of Christmas, Wasteswitch said to me... perform a waste audit at my company 🎶 If you're serious about reducing business waste, you should first conduct an audit to understand the volume of waste your business currently generates each year.
