Case Study GC19 (ETBPP)

Waste Minimisation Pays Major Dividends

The aim of this Case Study is to demonstrate the economic and environmental benefits of a structured approach to waste minimisation at a major manufacturing site.

The benefits of the waste minimisation culture demonstrated by this Case Study include:
  • A cost saving of over £960,000 in the first year
  • Payback of about ten months
  • Techniques that are applicable to any manufacturing operation
  • Reduced water use and less production waste going to effluent or landfill

The site's energy and environmental performance has further been acknowledged by gaining six prestigious awards - the Northern Electric Business Energy Efficiency Award 1995 and 1996, the Electricity Association Special Award 1995 for Corporate Commitment to Energy Efficiency and the Environment and in 1996 an I Chem Excellence in Safety and Environment award and more recently the Durham County Environment and Overall Achievement Awards 1997.
