Why reduce residual waste?
First of all, less residual waste means less cost. Incineration is expensive, especially compared to recycling. Proper separation keeps valuable streams out of residual waste and saves on processing.
In addition, less residual waste also means less CO2 emissions, because less has to be burned. And the more you reuse, the fewer new raw materials are needed. So you contribute directly to a circular economy.
How do you reduce residual waste?
The first step is: better separation. Many valuable materials still disappear unnecessarily into the residual waste bin. With the right tools you help your team to be smarter about waste.
Milgro developed practical tools that you can use immediately. Think of clear separation posters and a guide with tips per waste stream to make waste separation visible, understandable and easy.
