Waste separation pays off

save money and resources

Waste separation pays off

Waste isn’t just a cost, it’s a valuable resource
Residual waste anything that isn’t separated is expensive. It usually needs to be incinerated or specially treated, which costs more and leads to more frequent collections.

In contrast, separated waste streams like paper, plastic, or food waste are often cheaper or even free to collect. Some streams can even generate income, such as deposit bottles or aluminium cans.

The better you separate, the less residual waste you produce and the lower your waste invoice will be.

Cut your residual waste in half and see instant results
A company that manages to reduce residual waste by improving separation:

  • reduces collection frequency
  • lowers processing costs
  • avoids fines or extra charges for not complying with local waste regulations

In some countries, there are even tax incentives or subsidies for sustainable waste solutions, circular procurement, or eco-friendly investments.

How to save money

With sustainability on the rise and operational costs increasing, more and more organisations are reviewing their processes. Yet one big opportunity is often overlooked: smart waste management. By separating waste properly, you can reduce costs significantly and contribute to a circular economy. A win-win!

How it works

It’s all about the right system and behaviour

The key to success is source separation: sorting waste right where it’s generated in the office, kitchen or public areas. But it only works if the system makes sense:

  • Clearly marked bins with colour codes and icons
  • Smart placement in high-traffic areas
  • Clear signage explaining what goes where
  • Compact bins that save space and prevent misuse

This way, waste separation becomes easy, logical and even appealing.

A smart investment in sustainability
Companies that invest in waste separation benefit from:

  • Lower waste costs due to reduced residual waste
  • Extra income from recycling or deposit schemes
  • A more sustainable image for customers and staff
  • A real contribution to environmental goals and the circular economy
