ENVIROWISE & RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

What is Envirowise? Envirowise is a Government-funded programme dedicated to putting the sustainable use of resources at the heart of UK business practice.

What is Resource Efficiency? Resource efficiency can be defined as: - The use of raw materials or inputs (utilities, raw materials, equipment, staff time etc) as efficiently as possible in the production of a product or delivery of a service. I.e. Minimising inputs while maintaining or increasing the quality of an output (product or service).

What’s the Process Measuring and understanding inputs Monitoring progress over time Understand where biggest savings can be made Make informed decisions – set realistic targets and objectives Future proofing - ability to adapt to changes in environmental perspective Reduce reliance of finite and renewable resources

Resource Efficiency in Practice Elimination Source reduction Re-use Recycling Treatment & disposal Least preferable Buy what you need Prepare what you need Staff meals Separate for composting Landfill Most preferable
