Landfill avoidance methods
Axil works with you to find alternative routes for your waste streams to ensure materials don’t end up in landfill.
Zero waste to landfill is a waste-management concept that describes the diversion of waste away from landfills.
Zero waste to landfill methods build on the practices outlined under the Waste Hierarchy — a methodology that focuses on rethinking our relationship with waste, illustrated as a five-tier inverted pyramid.
Waste Hierarchy
Reduce waste
We can help you roll out waste-reduction initiatives that are customised to your organisation’s waste streams. This allows you to discover ways to reuse waste materials where possible
Eliminate waste
Axil helps you to work with your existing supply chain to eliminate the production of waste.
Return materials
Consider sending redundant materials back to the suppliers from which they originated to reduce waste output.
Re-use
We work with you to find ways to re-use your waste either on site or via a third party.
Recycle
The biggest and most achievable initiatives usually involve recycling more waste. Often this involves enhancing segregation schemes, using a colour coded system, and educating staff. This also has the highest visibility across site which gives good PR and buy in from site.
