Reducing Waste and Reducing Costs in your Business

Businesses of all sizes can make significant cost savings by focusing on waste in their business. Every business creates unnecessary waste. This can often be due to complacency and bad habits.Two free Seminars taking place in Tipperary in October will explore the ways companies can reduce and eliminate waste in their business; including food waste, energy wastage and water wastage through simple “no cost” and “low cost” means.

Over the last 10 years the Green Business Programme has identified over €10 million worth of savings for businesses. Savings identified have ranged from €250,000 in one business to €2,500 in another. Regardless of the size of the savings, the impacts of resource efficiency and cost reduction are important for all business sizes. Reducing utility costs by €2,500/ annum is equivalent to increasing sales by €25,000, when there is a 10% profit margin.

Both events are free but booking is essential.
