Sustainable Waste Management The amount of waste material we produce, and the way in which we manage it, has profound implications for the quality of the environment and for the prospects of future generations. There is a need to become more efficient in the way we use, recycle and dispose of materials, in order to minimise impacts on the environment, and reduce the rate at which resources are depleted. The need for a robust strategy is evident with so many uncertainties that could arise from changes in legislation, variations in both the tonnage and nature of the wastes handled and public attitudes together with the possibility of the emergence of new waste management techniques. The principal factors which will shape such strategy are the waste hierarchy, the best practicable environmental option, the proximity principle, local needs, an integrated approach, and best value performance indicators. OAKLIX Consulting will assist local, state and national governments to develop a strategy in order to achieve the maximum flexibility and best value to their residents. We also assist organisations and businesses to identify their waste streams with the aim of minimising their waste generation.
