Why segregate waste as an organisation?

Waste segregation, also known as waste sorting, is an important part of sustainable waste management. Which also makes it part of your sustainable business operations. When waste is segregated, all the waste your organization generates does not end up in one big pile. During the waste segregation process, different types of materials are separated for reuse, recycling or other types of processing.

Waste sorting is important because it helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, which reduces the impact it has on the environment. This reduces the need for new raw materials, while also working on becoming more sustainable within your operations. It, for example, aids in reducing your carbon footprint. In addition, this also makes collecting and handling waste a lot less messy. This not only benefit you, but also your employees and visitors.
