Procurement Outlook

Apart from keeping the environment clean and fresh, hiring a waste management company has other long-term benefits such as:

• Increases Operational Efficiency

  • Waste management companies help organizations to sort waste appropriately, which reduces the option of land filling. Proper sorting also helps in discovering wastes which can be reused and hence reducing the amount of waste

• Adherence to Compliance

  • Governments of developed and growing economies are implementing stringent rules and regulations for dumping waste. Hence by adopting a robust waste management plan, will help the organizations to meet necessary compliance and also make them eligible for grants and other incentives.

• Introduction of New Revenue Model

  • Waste generated from business processes can be sorted, and materials which are not required by the organizations can be sold off to other businesses as raw materials

• Better Brand Image and Employee Morale

  • Good waste management practices increase transparency and attract positive attention from customers which enhances the brand value. A positive enrollment towards a green environment also promotes cleaner and healthier workplace, building pride in employees towards the organization

The key procurement strategies for efficient waste management are:

• Identifying cost components

  • Waste management companies operate on “Bundled Fee” pricing model which has hidden costs. It is recommended to break down the costs into different categories to improve transparency, such as: Pick Up Costs, Disposal Costs, Landfill Levy Changes, etc.

• Selecting a sophisticated supplier

  • On-boarding a supplier who provides detailed periodic reports by using “in-cabin management systems” and “software generated documentation” is important for operational efficiency. If not organizations might have to spend time to monitor waste and manually document the information gathered
