We take a deep dive (literally) into your bins, examining exactly what materials are being disposed of and where, to identify opportunities for improving your recycling rate

Value Audit

Our team will conduct a site walk-around to assess the types and fullness of your containers on-site and review this against your collection frequency – ensuring best value for money

Data Security Audit

Our team will conduct a site walk-through to evaluate where and how confidential information is generated, then provide recommendations to ensure GDPR compliance and implement best practices.

Frequently asked questions

Why should my business have a waste audit?

Waste audits reveal inefficiencies, uncover cost-saving opportunities, and help improve recycling rates. They are not a legal requirement but do ensure you are complying with environmental regulations and industry standards.

How often should we conduct a waste audit?

At least once a year is a good rule of thumb, but also consider an audit when your business grows, changes processes, or as new legislation approaches.

Will we need to provide any data beforehand?

If available, historical waste data (e.g. waste invoices, weights, or collection schedules) certainly helps provide insight for the audit, but it’s not essential to get started.During the audit, we’ll review how much cardboard – and other waste streams – your business generates, assess your storage needs and identify opportunities for improvement. We will then provide a full report with specific recommendations tailored to your business needs.

Can you help implement the audit findings?

Yes – Printwaste doesn’t just leave you with a report. We can help roll out the changes, provide training, signage, and equipment, and even track ongoing performance through our reporting service add-ons.

What types of businesses can benefit from waste consultancy?

We work with businesses and organisations of all sizes and sectors, including automotive, corporate/professional services, education, legal, finance, healthcare, hospitality, insurance, manufacturing, public sector and SMEs.
