Resource efficiency is all about managing raw materials, energy and water in order to minimise waste and thereby reduce cost.

Resource efficiency will save you money and make your business more competitive, particularly with growing supply chain pressure to demonstrate reduced environmental impact.

Benefits of resource efficiency

1. Saves money – typically 1% of turnover (the true cost of waste is typically 4% of turnover)
2. Bottom line benefits – it’s easier to increase profitability by reducing costs than by increasing turnover
3. Short payback periods – many measures will deliver a benefit in a month or less, and continue to keep delivering month on month.
4. Typical savings are £1000/employee
5. Low cost/no cost measures yield big results
6. Business survival – the need to base your business on long-term sustainability
