KEY PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR WASTE AND RECYCLING - HOW EFFECTIVE ARE THEY?
Many enterprises are setting KPIs for their waste and recycling performance. While many are effective some are working in a counter productive way that neither delivers for their true sustainability performance or are costly and inefficient. Some actually encourage poor behaviour.
Often the issue is that the KPI is based on a simplistic slogan that looks good in reports and on websites but are not practical, sustainable or achievable. We have seen multinationals trying to achieve US or european requirements that make sense in their markets but do not in Australia or South East Asia. Frequently overseas subsidiaries have to adopt costly options that hide the real outcomes to achieve a KPI.
Key Performance Indicators for waste and recycling are no different to other KPI settings and enterprises need expert and informed advice. We start with a full understanding of the issue. Our methodologies focus on root cause first and we have improved many manufacturing and distribution processes by eliminating and reducing the cause of waste and recycling streams. We work our way through the process to identify practical and achievable KPIs that identify sustainable targets that deliver for the enterprise and the environment.
If you are setting KPIs or seeking advice on how to achieve them we can show you how with clear, informed and independent advice.
