Cutting Hospital Waste Charges

Resource Futures has lately undertaken research for Barnsley Hospital to help cut their waste management costs. The work included identifying opportunities to increase recycling, identification of waste streams, reducing waste classified as medical waste and the development of a modelling tool to identify the amounts and types of waste produced per patient per day.

Resource Efficiency for SMEs

Resource Futures has recently carried out work for the East Midlands Development Agency, facilitating and project managing a campaign to raise the awareness of resource efficiency within SMEs. We promoted regional the new resource efficiency services provided by Business Link in the East Midlands to the key industry sectors of construction, food and drink, agriculture and healthcare.

The initial stages of this work included research into local SME behaviour towards, and knowledge of, resource efficiency, and SME drivers to action. In response to SME testing panel results, we developed strong messaging on the financial benefits of good business practice, rather than guilt, to drive home the environmental message and achieve positive response.
