Businesses can reduce unnecessary waste when they understand what they generate, where it comes from and how it is currently handled. Waste audit services in Accra help businesses assess their waste streams and identify practical opportunities for reduction, reuse and recycling.
What Is a Waste Audit?
A waste audit involves reviewing the types and quantities of waste produced by a business. It can help identify:
- Major sources of waste
- Frequently discarded materials
- Recyclable materials
- Opportunities to reduce waste
- Current waste collection practices
- Areas where waste is being mixed unnecessarily
Who Can Benefit From a Waste Audit?
Waste audits can be useful for:
- Offices
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Supermarkets
- Retail stores
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Schools
- Construction businesses
The assessment can be particularly useful for businesses with high waste volumes or multiple waste streams.
What Does a Waste Audit Look At?
A typical assessment may examine:
- Cardboard and paper
- Plastics
- Food waste
- Glass
- Metal
- General rubbish
- Packaging
- Specialised waste streams
The goal is to understand the composition of the waste and determine where improvements can be made.
Benefits of Conducting a Waste Audit
A properly planned waste audit can help businesses:
- Identify recyclable materials
- Reduce unnecessary waste
- Improve waste separation
- Plan appropriate collection frequencies
- Reduce waste storage problems
- Make better use of recycling opportunities
For example, a warehouse may discover that a significant portion of its general rubbish consists of cardboard that could instead be separated for recycling.
