Calculating the collection cost of your Food or Drink Manufacturing Waste

If you’ve completed the waste audit as covered in Step 2, you’ll have collected detailed information about the amount and type of waste your food or drink business produces. You can now use the business waste calculator to estimate the amount of waste collected from your business and receive suggested changes that could help your business recycle more and save money.

Good to know

The calculator has been designed to generate a recycling service solution tailored to your business preferences, so it needs data on how you currently manage your waste. The more detail you can provide about your current waste service, the more relevant and accurate the results will be. If you don’t have time to conduct a waste audit, just use the waste composition information built into the waste calculator, which is based on existing research data.
