8 tips for organizing corporate waste management

 

As the changes in the regulatory framework confirm, in particular the law on energy transition, companies are increasingly led to reflect on the means to collect, sort and recover their waste. To answer this major challenge, here are 10 tips that will allow you to organize waste management more easily in your company. As you will see, there is nothing complicated. You just have to ask yourself the right questions!

Map the company's waste

To properly manage your waste, you must first take an inventory:

·         From different sources (office, workshop, etc.)

·         Types (paper, cardboard, plastic, etc.)

·         volumes

·         of their dangerousness

·         of their recyclability

This first phase should allow you to map the different types of waste present in your company and, in the short term, to establish an action plan to treat them.

Learn about the rules, techniques, waste treatment services

It is essential that you find out about:

·         regulatory constraints (laws, provisions, etc.)

·         disposal techniques (storage, collection, recovery, etc.) adapted to each type of waste,

·         waste management services. What services are offered by public authorities and private providers? What are the prices ?

Sensitize staff to waste management

It is with everyone's commitment that the company can reduce and better manage its waste. Employees are ready to get involved if they understand the importance of their gesture and feel valued. To this end, here are 5 tips to make your employees aware of selective sorting (link).

Reduce waste production at source

The storage, collection and recovery of waste represent a real burden for the company. By reducing the quantity at source, you will reduce your costs. For this, it is necessary to put in place good practices in order to limit the consumption of products that generate waste. For example, sheets of paper printed only on one side can be reused as scrap paper.

Sort / store waste in a company

In order for them to be subject to subsequent internal (reuse or recycling) or external recovery, through appropriate channels, it is essential to sort and store waste by category at the stage of their production.

Collect your waste

Once sorted and stored, you must have your waste collected. You can call on the services of public authorities or those of private providers. It may happen that certain waste produced in too small a quantity by the company is not collected. It may therefore be interesting to organize a collective collection with companies present in your geographic area.

Recovering your waste

The recovery of packaging waste is required by the Environmental Code. For other waste, recovery is to be preferred, when economically and technically possible, to any other disposal method.

Organize monitoring of your waste

In order to strive for optimal waste management, it is necessary to organize the monitoring of your waste. From now on, for many categories of waste (hazardous waste, packaging, etc.) the regulations require the keeping of a register which must be presented to the authorities on request.
