♻️ Every year, globally, we dump a massive 2.12 billion tons of Municipal solid waste. If all this waste was put on trucks, they would go around the world 24 times! Not only that, but the amount we dump is expected to increase by 70% by 2050. This is catastrophic in terms of how this will potentially increase Greenhouse Gases, and toxic pollutants. While businesses must take the leading role, in reality, we ALL have to take responsibility. 4 Ways to Reduce Waste Going to Landfills With landfill space becoming increasingly scarce and decomposition slow, it's essential to find ways to minimize the waste we send there. By adopting sustainable practices like reusing, recycling, and reducing, you can play a vital role in protecting the environment. ♻️ Recycle Recycling has significantly reduced the amount of waste that ends up in landfills each year. It keeps raw materials in circulation, extending their lifecycle through various products. By recycling items like plastic, glass, wood, and tires, we can prevent these materials from polluting our environment. Discover more about the World's Largest Recycling Plants and their efforts in diverting waste from landfills. ♻️ Compost Landfills are often oxygen-deficient, which hampers the decomposition of compostable materials. Instead of throwing biodegradable waste into the trash, use compost bins to divert it from landfills. Composting provides the necessary aeration, moisture, and warmth for materials like paper, food scraps, lawn clippings, and even hair to break down efficiently. ♻️ Make Thoughtful Purchases Be conscious of what you buy, especially single-use plastics that are likely to end up as trash. Opt for eco-friendly or recycled products whenever possible to reduce your environmental footprint. ♻️ Repurpose and Repair Many items that find their way to landfills are still in good condition or can be easily repaired or repurposed. Donating usable items, like clothing, to those in need can significantly reduce the waste that ends up in landfills. By giving your unwanted belongings a second life, you contribute to waste reduction.

As a business we are very happy with our experience with IMSM. Their priorities are in ensuring that the end-product fits the business and the business benefits.” Robert Wiles, Executive Chairman, JDT Utilities. ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02VsjM70 JDT Utilities are a Gas Utilities company that focus on the maintenance, repair, and refurbishment of the gas infrastructure for gas mains replacement.
