UNIT 4: ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 081 WASTE CHECKLIST The first step in preparation for a preliminary waste status review is to compile an inventory of all materials disposed of by the business. The following should then be considered: ✓ How much waste is generated under the main waste categories: paper, plastic, aluminium, organic (kitchen and garden) and hazardous, every month/year? ✓ Which departments generate high volumes of waste? ✓ How much is known about waste disposal methods? ✓ Have initiatives been taken to separate waste? S E C T I O N 2 ✓ Is organic waste separated from other waste? ✓ Have initiatives been taken to reduce waste? ✓ What are waste disposal charges as a proportion of operating costs? ✓ Have waste disposal charges increased over the last 3 years? ✓ Are there items in the waste stream that have never been used? ✓ Has a waste audit been conducted?
082 UNIT 4: ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Environment Status Review on Purchasing Environmentally-preferable Products and Services PURCHASING FACTSHEET • The hospitality industry is a large buyer of consumer goods and services and can, therefore, have a significant influence on suppliers and contractors. On average, 26 five-star hotels purchase the same volume of goods as 1,200 families. • Environmentally-preferable products include: - Products made entirely or partly with recycled materials; - Materials with reduced toxicity – e.g. water-based paints and non-solvent cleaners; - Products manufactured through cleaner production processes – e.g. unbleached paper; - Products that are more durable and last longer; - Products that require less energy during manufacture and use; - Reusable or recyclable products; - Products with reduced packaging - most packaging ends up in the waste stream less than 9 months after manufacture; - Environmentally certified products; - Products manufactured locally not requiring long-distance transportation. • The use of environmentally-preferable products can be a valuable showcase for corporate environment commitment. • Environment-conscious purchasing practices avoid and reduce waste. For example, buying items with less packaging reduces packaging waste. • Changing purchasing practices should be undertaken in close collaboration with suppliers to ensure that the most cost-effective and environmentally-preferable alternative is selected.
