As facilities managers are urged to ‘wake up to the realities of what happens to their waste’, a new guide has been published to help them identify and tackle hidden waste.

According to government figures, only around 45% of waste from households is recycled, with the figure likely to be even lower for businesses, where people have less time and take less care to separate out materials.

This is one of the reasons behind the government’s push to halve the amount of residual waste that goes to landfill or incineration by 2042. It’s also an area that’s set to gain significantly more traction as organisations attempt to get their Scope 3 emissions under control as part of the wider push towards net zero aims; something that will encompass the disposal of items and products that may not have been manufactured or produced by the business itself.

This document provides an overview of the different setups of Advetec systems, the waste inputs they can handle, the floc outputs they produce, and the results in terms of waste reduction.
