The War on Waste Toolkit for Business contains 10 resources including the recycling no-brainer checklist, tips on assessing waste, and new brain science inspired signage to get employees to do their part.
The toolkit offers tips for office managers and purchasers on recycled options for paper and stationery and encourages co-workers to reduce their waste with suggestions on reusable alternatives to many popular single-use items including plastic shopping bags, coffee cups and water bottles.
Planet Ark’s recycling programs manager Ryan Collins said the toolkit will be an important resource as Australia’s business waste grows.
The toolkit provides free advice for businesses of all sizes to reduce waste and recycle more, he said.

Effective waste management is paramount in our modern world, given the significant environmental challenges we face. Proper waste management not only minimizes the burden on landfills but also reduces pollution and the depletion of natural resources. It involves a comprehensive approach, including recycling, composting, and safe disposal, with a focus on reducing, reusing, and recycling materials wherever possible. Waste management is a shared responsibility, involving governments, businesses, and individuals. By embracing sustainable practices and innovative technologies, we can move towards a more circular economy where waste is minimized, and resources are conserved. This not only benefits the environment but also contributes to a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
