Description
A Waste Stream Audit, is an examination of the waste generated by an entity. Such an audit typically focuses on the type and volume of waste produced during a given timeframe, such as one week.
Following this assessment, the auditor can provide feedback on waste minimisation and segregation within the entity or business. Common ways to achieve this include:
- Educating staff
- Providing appropriate waste containers on site
- Creating a waste disposal plan
- Implementing operational changes that may potentially reduce costs
