Audit, Reduce and Offset

An increasing number of businesses recognise the commercial and environmental need to manage their carbon emissions.

From conferences, trade shows and rock concerts, to sports, media, film and other entertainment productions, Clean Waste Solutions can calculate and offset all types of events.

Most every day activities will produce a carbon footprint and events produce a large one!

Travel to and from the event
The event building’s energy usage, from lighting and special effects to air conditioning
Catering and waste produced
Any event specifics (e.g. festivals)
The carbon footprint can be efficiently and effectively reduced by applying the following steps:
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to accurately determine the current carbon footprint
Identification of hot-spots in terms of energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions
Where possible, changing to another electricity company or switch to buying electricity from renewable sources (from wind turbines, solar panels or hydroelectrical plants -or- from nuclear power plants)
Optimisation of energy efficiency and, thus, reduction of CO2 emissions and reduction of other GHG emissions contributed from production processes
Identification of solutions to neutralise the CO2 emissions that cannot be eliminated by energy saving measures. This last step includes carbon offsetting; investment in projects that aim at reducing CO2 emissions, for instance tree planting.

Clean Waste Solutions work to a proven 3 step process; Audit, Reduce and Offset to achieve this outcome for our clients.

Commission a Carbon Audit
Clean Waste Solutions will visit your business to calculate your carbon footprint in accordance with ISO standard 14064.

The benefit of good environmental practice is that it reduces the cost of running your business, often offsetting the cost of the audit process as well as reducing ongoing operational costs.

Reduce your levels of CO2
Following the audit, Clean Waste Solutions will compile a report detailing practical steps that you can take to reduce your CO2 emissions.

Quarterly visits from one of our team will help you implement the changes to meet your carbon reduction targets.

Offset your excess CO2
Should you choose to be awarded Carbon Neutral status, you will need to offset the excess CO2, which you are unable to reduce.
