Waste Audit Australia

Waste Audits are undertaken to:

• Establish baseline or benchmark data.
• Characterise and quantify the waste streams.
• Verify waste pathways.
• Identify waste diversion opportunities.
• Identify source reduction opportunities.
• Assess effectiveness of current systems to improve efficiency of waste management system.
• Obtain detailed data on waste generation allowing more accurate product costing.

We have completed waste audits for a wide variety of organisations tailored to meet different sector and client requirements.

We have developed sophisticated data analysis techniques together with our own database of industry waste generation rates. Thus allowing benchmarking to be undertaken and opportunities identified.
