Recycling is essential and very vital in the current state of events as there is so much wastage around us and so few places we can fit it in. Tonnes and tonnes of waste is discarded in the sea and there are hectares of land that have become landfill in hopes to capture and control the rubbish removal from various countries.
The earth is practically running out of space to hold our junk and wastage and it would be centuries before the junk that we throw in today decompose and turn organic entirely.
This whole process is further complicated by plastics and nonbiodegradable waste which prevents the junk from completely deteriorating. The world is facing so many challenges and we as the people and the global citizens of the world need to take on some responsibility at a personal level to help this case.
Corporate Recycling
So many companies have signed up on zero wastage and zero carbon footprint missions and action plans from the UN but there is very little that we have achieved through this. Industrial wastage is a major issue, and therefore most companies have to really step up and control the wastes that are dumped by its factories.
Industrial wastage is now mandated by the Environmental Acts to further clean and treat its wastage before it is dumped in landfills. This has improved the degradability of industrial wastage but this is just the beginning of many such initiatives that need to be done.
Corporate Recycling refers to any kind of recycling that can help the company conserve material and prevent excessive and unnecessary wastage. Many brands have taken it upon themselves to recycle their products and product packaging and any material that goes into its manufacturing and gets discarded in the process.
They also educate and motivate their consumers to do the same by either recycling their product packaging or returning the empty cartons to get some price benefit.
Ways to encourage Recycling by Corporates
-
Corporate offers
The Government can enhance the rubbish removal and waste discard by motivating the corporates to pay attention to its effluent discharge, junk discard into landfills, etc.
-
Subsidies
Subsidies and benefits can be given to Corporates who help the community by keeping up with their wastage and junk removal protocols by treating their effluent and wastages and being mindful of recycling materials.
- Customer Benefits
Discounts and special benefits can be given to customers who help corporates with their recycling and waste management practices. For example, companies like The Body Shop, which is a major body and wellness care brand, help their customers by returning empty bottles and cartons for discounts on their products. They also encourage customers to recycle and reuse the packaging on their own at home.
Conclusion
Waste Management is the topic of the hour and needs to be adopted by all companies and corporates. Effective waste management is pivotal and needs to be done effectively so as to save planet earth from harmful disposals, non degrading materials and many more ill practices that harm the planet.
The government of many countries supports and helps many corporates to effectively maintain their wastage and help them by giving added benefits and subsidies to them overall with their production requirements. This in turn helps the customers as the benefits are passed on to them for recycling the product wastage.
