Answers and Help
The following questions and answers should
assist you with identifying the advantages of conducting a
waste audit and provide you with some insight into Immacutec
and its expertise in the waste assessment and waste management
consulting business.
1. How will my company benefit from conducting
a waste audit?
The principle is simple - When you know what you generate,
how much you generate and where you generate it, you will
manage waste cost-effectively and in a more environmentally
friendly manner.
2. We are already have recycling and reuse
programs in place. What can you do to improve these programs?
Most companies are recycling primary recyclable materials
(cardboard, office paper, glass, aluminum cans) but very few
know what percentage of this material they are capturing and
how much is still making its way to landfill.
There may be markets for other materials in your waste stream
if they are generated in quantities that can justify the cost
of operating the program.
Our experience has shown that most facilities have inefficient
and costly programs in place for recyclables.
3. How much can we really expect to save from
your waste assessment program?
First time customers will typically save twice the cost of
our assessment service in the first year through service alterations
and tipping fees. This saving will continue in subsequent
years while the amount of additional savings depends on the
complexity and diversity of your facility's waste stream.
4. How much will the assessment program cost?
Immacutec waste assessments examine all factors impacting
waste generation. As studies increase in scope, greater potential
exists to realize significant cost savings.
A breakdown of our cost-structure is provided with our proposal.
A project manager would arrange a meeting with you at no cost
or oblogation to determine the scope of work to be performed
to meet your desired objectives. A proposal would be forwarded
to you two days following that initial meeting. Obtain
a price quote by filling in some basic information.
5. What do you offer that is not offered by
your competition?
a. Immacutec performs a detailed assessment and can customize
its program to suit your needs.
b. A more informative and extensive report customized to your
needs.
c. Straight answers and results.
d .An upfront and highly competitive cost.
6. How long does the assessment program take
from start to finish?
The length of the program will vary significantly from one
organization to the next depending on its goals, its existing
programs, the type of information it currently maintains and
most importantly the size of the waste sample.
Some companies require multiple sample days from different
times in the year. In these cases an interim report can be
generated a few days after the initial sample and updates
are generated and one final copy at the end of the year.
For one to three day on-site waste audit periods, the waste
audit, the report and an implementation strategy can be performed
and finalzed in one week provided the information required
to complete the report is available.
From experience, we have found that first time Immacutec customers
seldomly have all the necessary available to complete the
report and some extensive digging is required to get the pertinent
information. After the first assessment, Immacutec ensures
the organization will have systems in place to acquire this
information readily.
7. Where does your company operate?
Anywhere in North America and Worldwide to customers implementing
GRI.
8. What are some of your other clients?
An extensive client list and reference contacts are at each
are available to interested parties by contacting
our office.
