In its latest issue, FMJ magazine worked with Great Forest to offer a deep dive into waste audits. The report, Getting to the Bottom of Waste, uses data and case studies pulled from hundreds of Great Forest waste audit investigations conducted around the world each year.
It summarizes everything a facility manager or sustainability officer needs to know about waste audits and how they can be used to understand how waste is generated and discarded, and what to do to improve efficiency, and reduce waste and costs.
As businesses reopen across the country and adjust to changing rules and post-lockdown realities, waste audits are even more important to help businesses understand how their waste content is changing, and what to do to manage it more effectively.
If those who control information rule the world, waste audits are the key to effective waste management.

This involves some down-in-the-dirt investigative work called a waste audit, which delivers data that every facility manager needs to make informed decisions.
The article explains what a waste audit is, how to plan for one, and why waste audits are so important in a world where waste costs are rising and expected to keep going up.
