Become a Circular Business: Reduce Costs and Environmental Impacts with CRS

Waste creates costs for businesses and can have negative environmental impacts. Waste management costs are often seen as a fixed overhead and, unlike other utilities, selecting the optimal waste service and monitoring improvements can be difficult.

Waste collection contractors will usually propose services suited to them, often failing to support your business maximise savings and environmental performance. CRS can apply decades of waste management experience to help your business realise these savings and environmental improvements.

With pressures on businesses to demonstrably mitigate their carbon footprint, we can also quantify an accurate Carbon / Greenhouse Gas baseline for your business, against which improvements can be tracked and reported. This will give you a competitive advantage where your customers are increasingly interested in the environmental credentials of their suppliers.

What We Offer

Depending on your businesses’ individual needs we can support you with:

Waste Audits

We can audit your waste streams to find opportunities to eliminate, reuse, and recycle waste to form a baseline for measuring future improvements

Eliminate Waste. Waste costs your business money and harms the environment. We can identify opportunities for your business to eliminate waste and realise an immediate cost saving.

Reuse & Repair. We can assess the potential to extend life cycles and stop valuable resources becoming waste - reducing costs, reliance on suppliers, and risk.

Maximise Recycling. Recycling waste materials is usually better for the environment than disposal. But not all recycling services are equal! We can help you choose the most effective services for your business, saving money and producing high quality recyclable materials.

Carbon & EMS Reporting

Carbon Reporting. We can quantify your environmental performance to demonstrate your commitments to customers. We are experienced at Carbon/Greenhouse Gas accounting (ISO-140641), identifying the impact your business waste has on the environment.

Carbon Reduction Plans. Bespoke Carbon Reduction Plans can also be developed for projects/tenders where potential clients require them.

Environmental Monitoring. We can put in place simple monitoring frameworks around which all environmental improvements can be tracked and reported, including recycling rates and carbon emissions.

Circular Assessments

As businesses move to become more Circular in their activities by reducing or removing waste, and extending product/material life and value we can support you through this process. Linked to out waste management support, we can help businesses realise savings by minimising waste or removing waste streams entirely. Our team are Circular Economy specialists (Circular Economy Institute) and can provide an evaluation of your business’s circularity against international standards.

Businesses adopting circular principles are likely to realise cost savings through reduced waste, will be more resilient to changes and risk in global markets, and will be able to demonstrate their green credentials to customers and clients.

Policy, Strategy, and Procurement

Policies and Strategies. We can help your business draw up realistic and effective policies and strategies to transform your business to an efficient, low-carbon, Circular operation.

Procurement & Tendering. We offer tender & procurement support for the most cost-effective service to meet your needs.

From April 2024 Welsh businesses will need to meet Welsh Government’s “Separated waste collections for workplaces” regulations that will require all workplaces to separate recyclable materials in the same way that most householders do now. We can provide you with advice and guidance to help you become a compliant business.

A fixed price for support that can be assessed against the potential savings and improvements identified in the consultation.
A holistic suite of services from identifying the best options for each individual business, to hands-on assistance in delivering amended policies, processes, waste infrastructure, and activities.
