Our waste reduction consultants have been successfully supporting clients’ efforts to reduce their waste-related environmental impact. However, they needed a way to clearly and efficiently illustrate to clients the amount of waste their organizations were generating, and the environmental impacts of that waste. They also needed to track this data for multiple locations, over time. With all of these variables, Excel spreadsheets become a bit unwieldy.
The iReuse Tracking & Reporting Tool was born. Our consultants have been using it for months now to document landfill, recycling and composting rates at client locations. This tool is now available to the public as a stand-alone, web-based service.
It easily calculates, for example, trees saved and GHG’s prevented as a result of recycling x-amount of office paper and cardboard. It also compares across multiple locations, and generates clean, clear reports that are easily downloadable as PDFs.
Current clients using the tool include property managers of commercial office space, and large corporations that occupy the majority of their office building.
The next iteration of the tool will include tracking and reporting of energy and water, and procurement will be added as well. We look forward to hearing back from our clients about how this tool has helped them to reduce their environmental impact, increase savings, as well as suggestions for improvements.
