EarthCheck Company Standard Version 4.2 2.3.8: Solid Waste Management

What does 2.3.8 require?

A documented programme prevents, reduces, reuses, recycles and safely disposes of waste, including a minimisation strategy backed by purchasing rules that cut single-use and non-biodegradable items and working systems to separate, collect, reuse and recycle materials. Organic waste is composted or otherwise recovered where feasible, e-waste goes to certified handlers with quantities and destinations recorded, residual waste goes only to lawful, well-run facilities with disposal records, and waste performance is monitored and reviewed every year within the system.
