Food waste. Many of us believe this type of waste is not harmful to our environment. It is organic right? So, it will be absorbed by nature as many of us believe. Plastic waste, however, is harmful, and we should not pollute our environment with single-use plastic items. Much media attention is given to this plastic waste subject around the globe. But sending just 1kg of food waste to landfill, produces the same carbon emissions as landfilling a staggering 25,000 500ml plastic bottles.
When composing a waste management strategy, please take into account food waste.

Reducing value chain carbon emissions: a practical guide for enterprise businesses.

Normative has developed a comprehensive new guide to explain how to engage your value chain in carbon reduction.

Value chains play a key role in reducing emissions. 92% of an average company’s emissions originate in the value chain, according to CDP. Beginning to reduce the carbon emissions from your value chain can seem like a tricky process. But it’s well worth it, both for the climate and for your business. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint – and thus, your climate impact – then reducing your value chain emissions will make a sizable difference.

In the downloadable guide Enterprise Value Chain Carbon Emission Reduction, you’ll find six building blocks to measure and reduce your business’s value chain carbon emissions.

By following this guide, you empower your company to make the carbon reductions necessary to fight climate change while keeping your company competitive and compliant.
