Organise your business to minimise the waste you create by thinking about what you buy and where it will go. Work with your suppliers to minimise waste before it gets to your business, as you run your business and after it goes to your customer.
Packaging is a real problem area and ultimately something you pay for – in the products you buy and sell. Reducing packaging is good for the environment and your hip pocket, so consider whether it's actually needed. For example, encouraging customers to bring their own coffee cup, means you won’t need to buy so many coffee cups and you will have less waste!
