More and more socially and environmentally conscious businesses are rightly considering the environmental impact of their day to day operations and becoming more aware of their carbon footprint. A business's Carbon Footprint is defined as "the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, organisation, or community" and is a good way to see the overall environmental impact of a company's operations.

 

Clearly a company's Carbon Footprint is made up of a large number of contributing factors including (among many other sources) business travel, a building's energy efficiency, pollution from manufacturing processes and the general waste produced during daily operations. Today, environmental minded businesses are looking to understand and reduce their Carbon Footprint and, in many cases, counter the carbon they produce by planting trees and funding environmental charities. 

 

For the past 10 years AWM have been helping companies monitor the amount of waste produced by their office buildings with our industry leading WWS Waste Weighing System. Strategically positioned in the waste processing areas of office blocks, our stainless steel weighing scale and touch screen display seamlessly track and record waste produced from any waste stream including Glass, Plastic, Paper, General, Food, Clothing and many more.

 

Our Waste Monitoring System is used by many of the largest office blocks in the City of London and customers around the UK including BNP Paribas, XL Catlin, Lacon House, BNY Mellon, NICE, Conduent, Dechert, Pure Gym, Arriva, Exerton Media, Kilburn and Strode and Benugo.

 

The operator simply rolls the waste bin onto our stainless steel, low profile weighing scale and touches the corresponding colour image of the waste stream on the display. The system enables the operator to select, type in or scan an RFID card to allocate the waste to a particular department, tenant, area or floor etc. The simplest of operations ensures the system can be used by any operator whilst providing full traceabilty of multiple waste streams and origins.

 

Waste Reports can be sent from the system via email, online or over an Intranet network at scheduled times or on demand and can be read as customisable spreadsheets or csv files with times, dates, waste types, origins, operators and more.

We interface with the most popular Carbon Footprint calculating software packages or can provide our own analysis of waste production and environmental impacts. All of our software is written in-house for complete security and reliability and can customise our system to your exact requirements. One of our skilled Project Managers guides you through the complete process from initial enquiry and understanding your specific requirements to ensuring you are completely satisfied with the finished solution prior to on-site installation.
