  1. EAUC Conference Matthew Rowland - Jones Envirowise

  2. Introduction • Issues/drivers/barriers • What is Envirowise • What is resource efficiency

  3. ISSUES, DRIVERS & BARRIERS

  4. Issues • Food and drink waste accounts for around 22 million tonnes/year • 1/3 from food manufacturing and processing • 1/3 from commercial (e.g. catering, hotels and retail) • 1/3 third from the domestic sector

  5. Issues • Food and drink waste accounts for around 22[1] million tonnes/year • 1/3 from food manufacturing and processing • 1/3 from commercial (e.g. catering, hotels and retail) • 1/3 third from the domestic sector

  6. Drivers ABPR Some food waste banned from landfill Landfill space London 3-5 years Landfill tax £32/t now - £48/t by 2011 Methane 22 times more potent GHG than CO2 FOG Blockage is perennial and costly problem Hazardous waste Low awareness in the sector Cost Disposal plus purchasing and preparation

  7. Barriers • ‘We have always done it this way’ • Contracts • Location restrictions • Data collection • Lack of expertise/knowledge

  8. ENVIROWISE & RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

  9. What is Envirowise? Envirowise is a Government-funded programme dedicated to putting the sustainable use of resources at the heart of UK business practice.

  10. What is Resource Efficiency? Resource efficiency can be defined as: - The use of raw materials or inputs (utilities, raw materials, equipment, staff time etc) as efficiently as possible in the production of a product or delivery of a service. I.e. Minimising inputs while maintaining or increasing the quality of an output (product or service).

  11. What’s the Process Understand where biggest savings can be made Make informed decisions – set realistic targets and objectives Future proofing - ability to adapt to changes in environmental perspective Reduce reliance of finite and renewable resources • Measuring and understanding inputs • Monitoring progress over time

  12. Resource Efficiency in Practice • Buy what you need • Prepare what you need • Staff meals • Separate for composting • Landfill Elimination Source reduction Re-use Recycling Treatment & disposal Mostpreferable Leastpreferable
