A circular approach begins before disposal: reduce unnecessary purchases, extend product life and plan the next use. Recycling alone does not demonstrate every purchase is circular.
What to check
- Compare returnable packaging with single-use supply, including returns, cleaning and losses.
- Check repair or reassignment before replacing furniture and equipment.
- Agree material specifications with an offcut receiver before reserving storage or promising diversion.
- Measure purchasing, waste and cost changes. Keep environmental claims limited to what the records demonstrate.
