Waste and Chemicals Management

July 24, 2019

Across the world, unsustainable linear consumption patterns result in the majority of our extracted and refined resources being used once, and then discarded in landfill sites. Some predictions estimate a five-fold increase in global waste generation above 2005 levels by 2025. The waste we put out in refuse bins and skips each week is really just the tip of the iceberg. For every product used such as paper, computers, packaged foods or chemicals substantial waste has been generated in the making of those products. It is estimated that as much as 90% of the materials used in the manufacture of a product become waste almost immediately.
