What waste does a Melbourne commercial spice blending company generate?

Review ingredient sacks, off-spec blends and extraction residues separately at a spice-blending site. Do not assign a disposal route to dust from the product name alone.

What to check

1. Identify sack layers and liners before confirming recycling acceptance.
2. Keep rejected batches labelled with ingredients, allergen information and reason for rejection; do not automatically divert them to feed.
3. Have a competent person assess extraction-system residues and handling; do not tip dust into an ordinary bin on a generic article's advice.
4. Measure material loss by batch and obtain processor acceptance for any proposed organics route.
