Many businesses spend around 4% of their turnover generating waste. This is because the cost of waste is not just the cost of disposal but also includes wasted energy, water, raw materials, consumables and labour.

The true cost of waste can be between 5 and 20 times the cost of disposal and in an average company is around ten times the cost of disposal.

We save companies money by helping them to use resources more efficiently and produce less waste.

Waste minimisation

Customers, financial institutions, employees and suppliers have a growing interest in companies’ environmental performance. A company’s reputation is easily affected by the way its operations are managed and how it responds to questions about environmental impacts.

Wilkinson Environmental has worked with some of New Zealand’s biggest businesses to help them reduce their environmental footprint and minimise the amount of waste they create. We don't just deliver a good looking report telling them what they should be doing, we work with them to make real change happen.

We start by reviewing waste practices, measuring waste created then developing a strategy for minimising that waste. This involves reviewing purchasing policies, identifying opportunities to prevent waste then implementing recycling systems to divert waste.
