| We know that as a large organisation with 5,500 staff in over 200 branches and offices across New Zealand, we have a responsibility to dispose of our waste in the best way that we can. |
|
| Nationally, New Zealanders dispose of 3.4 million tonnes of waste into our landfills every year. We want to do our bit to reduce this. |
|
|
 |
Having identified the sources of our waste we are rolling out a waste management programme |
|
|
Reducing our paper consumption, setting ourselves a 20% target by 2012 |
|
|
Measuring and monitoring our confidential paper recycling system to minimise paper waste where possible |
|
|
|
| You can make a difference today by making a few changes to reduce waste at home or at work. |
|
|
sort your rubbish and put into the appropriate recycle bin |
|
|
buy products with minimal packaging, or if possible, without packaging |
|
|
purchase reusable, refillable, repairable products as alternatives to disposable ones e.g. razors and pens |
|
|
donate unwanted household items and furniture to charities, schools or second-hand shops, rather than throwing them out |
|
|
don’t print out emails or documents unless you absolutely need a copy |
|
|
print or copy using both sides of the paper |
|
|
bring lunch to your work in reusable containers rather than paper or plastic bags |
