Manufacturers around the United Kingdom are being offered an innovative way to save money on their employees. Recently a website was launched which aims to educate manufacturers in the United Kingdom on ways to save money through greener practices. Packaging manufacturers are the target of the new waste initiative which the website claims can save companies up to one thousand pounds per each of its employees. The recycling industry has long targeted consumers for such initiatives but has found that it is better to get manufacturers involved to save on packaging by not creating it in the first place.
The website was launched by Envirowise which aims to illustrate to companies how much money they are wasting by not being green. The online course is called Rethink Waste and aims to educate companies on the true cost of waste, as well as on how to implement plans and strategies to limit the amount of waste the company produces. Envirowise says that the rising cost of dumping waste in landfills has companies listening closely to the advice as a way to save significant amounts of money.
The United Kingdom has made news lately for its failure to meet many of the landfill directives laid out by the European Union. The EU has outlined specific plans for each of its member nations to reduce the size of their landfills by fifty percent over the next five years.
In addition to educating companies about waste, the website also offers access to a virtual factory tour which shows areas in which many companies unknowingly create waste.
