The #waste #management #hierarchy is a conceptual framework designed to guide and rank waste management decisions at both the individual and organisational levels. It gives top priority to waste prevention; such planning can help us in restructuring our relationship with waste based on five priorities ranked in terms of what’s best for the environment. This is often illustrated as a five-tier inverted pyramid.

• Prevent
• Reduce
• Reuse
• Recycle
• Recover
and finally, disposal.
By following the waste management hierarchy, organisations can extract the most benefits from their products and services while minimising their waste output. But what does each stage of the hierarchy mean?lets understand each of the Stage of Business Waste Management hierarchy
The first stage is REDUCE: The waste management hierarchy places top priority on reducing or preventing as much waste generation as possible. This stage encourages industries, communities and governments to reduce their use of virgin raw materials to produce goods and services. The idea is to maximise efficiency and prevent the unnecessary consumption of resources through steps such as:
• Procuring raw materials that come with the least packaging or require the fewest resources to refine.
• Avoiding disposable or single-use goods.
• Procuring materials that are recycled or can be recycled, repaired or reused.
• Optimising inventory to prevent perishable goods (e.g., food) from going to waste.
• If your business can’t reduce or prevent waste, you can prepare them for reuse.
Second in the list is REUSE: Preparing materials for reuse in their original form is the second-best approach to waste management. Aside from reducing your landfill impact, reusing business waste also allows your business to avoid spending on new goods or virgin materials or paying a provider to dispose of your waste for you. For example, office-based businesses can use these measures to prepare common items for reuse:
• Using durable glasses, mugs, cups, plates and cutlery instead of disposable alternatives.
• Implementing a strategy to Reuse envelopes, boxes and other packaging materials.
• Donating or selling used furniture, computers and other office equipment.
• Refilling toner and printer cartridges instead of buying new ones.
• A business can even generate income from items and business waste that are valuable to other organisations.
The third approach is RECYCLING: Recycling involves processing materials that would otherwise be sent to landfills and turning them into new products. It’s the third step of the waste management hierarchy because of the extra energy and resources that go into creating a new product.
To maximise recycling opportunities, a business will need to have the proper recycling infrastructure in place, which can be an on-site recycling facility (e.g., for grinding concrete into material for backfilling) or a total waste management provider that can handle segregation, collection and recycling for you.
4th stage is RECOVERY: When further recycling is not practical or possible, businesses can recover energy or materials from waste through processes such as:
• Incineration
• Anaerobic digestion
• Gasification
• Pyrolysis.
