Waste Auditing & Impact Reporting
Turn raw data into strategic action plans
Accurate, granular data is the backbone of any successful business waste diversion program. Measuring waste outputs helps identify materials flow, cross contamination, and training opportunities.
Our Waste Audits & Impact Reporting services include:
- LEED Waste Audit: Depending on level of certification, the US Green Building Council requires a waste audit for LEED building status. Our team will gather the baseline waste data necessary for approval.
- General Waste Audit: On-site materials sorting, weighing, and tracking to quantify diversion opportunities.
- Dynamic Dashboards & Reports: Real-time insights on waste volume, composition, cost savings, and carbon reductions.
- “Right-Size” Hauling Analysis: Align number of containers, container sizes, and pickup frequencies for your actual business needs to lower hauling fees by up to 25%.
- Stakeholder Engagement Tools: Data analytics reporting, infographics, and executive summaries that drive employee buy-in for program success.
- Key Recommendations: Detailed suggestions for program improvement and implementation planning.
Why Waste Auditing & Impact Reporting?
Accurate waste data is the first step to smarter decisions and cost savings. Our audits and reports reveal hidden waste, highlight diversion opportunities, and guide long-term strategy. DIY audits can lead to false starts—trust our experts to deliver the insights that move the needle.
