Sprievodca krok za krokom

  1. 1Hierarchy: prevent generation, extend life (reuse/repair), recover (recycle/compost)
  2. 2Calculate waste diverted from landfill
  3. 3Track reduction percentage and environmental benefit

Worked Examples

Vstup
Business generated 500 kg waste, diverted 350 kg (composting, recycling)
Výsledok
70% waste diversion rate
Above typical 35% diversion

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming recycling is the solution without reducing consumption
  • Neglecting contamination issues that reduce recycling effectiveness
