Public Sector

Creating sustainable public services 

As a public sector organisation your environmental credentials are under scrutiny from all sides. Not only are you expected to meet tough environmental targets, but you must also be seen by the public to be setting an example while providing the high standard of services they expect. In short, you have to be beyond reproach.

To satisfy these staunch critics, and your own demanding standards, you’ll need to be innovative - both in adopting existing best practices and in leading others in the search for better, more resource efficient systems.

As experts in waste management and resource efficiency we can work with your organisation to help achieve these aims. What’s more we have the skills and know-how to research and develop strategies, provide best practice technical advice, engage with your employees and the community, to educate and change behaviour permanently. This can be through a seamless combination of services, or just one to meet a specific need.

Ideally we would work through the following stages:

1. Developing an understanding of your particular situation.

2. Looking at where you need help.

3. Deciding how we can best provide that help.

4. Delivering a solution.

5. Evaluating the results and looking at how we can improve them.

Our way of working makes use of the all-round expertise we have within Resource Futures. You benefit from a service that is fully joined up from conception to delivery, with all the separate elements working together to provide the very best solution for your organisation.

Engaging the Residents of North London with Love Food Hate Waste

Resource Futures recruited and managed two embedded Outreach Workers to support the North London Waste Authority’s, WRAP funded, Love Food Hate Waste campaign.

Assessing Bulky Waste in Northern Ireland

Resource Futures carried out a comprehensive review of bulky wastes in Northern Ireland. The review considered quantities arising, types, sources and destinations of bulky waste materials; and importantly the capacity for reuse of such material.The report is intended to be a useful contribution to the waste prevention strand of the Northern Ireland Waste Management Strategy.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, Good Practice Guidance

Whilst Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling activity is firmly established in the UK, its collection and treatment is a rapidly growing and evolving sector. WRAP research reveals that the average household has 3 old or broken WEEE items stored in the home, therefore there are millions of items out there just waiting to be collected…
