Waste to Landfill Diversion and Reduction
Waste diversion refers to the process of redirecting waste away from landfills through methods such as recycling, composting, reusing, and repurposing. It’s a key component of the circular economy and a vital step toward achieving sustainability goals. Total Utilities supports businesses in reducing landfill waste by identifying opportunities for waste minimisation, optimising resource use, and implementing tailored diversion strategies.
