Waste Amount (Weight)
What is it?
Waste Amount (Weight) is a key performance indicator that measures the total amount of waste generated within a property or portfolio, expressed in weight (e.g., kilograms or tons). This metric can be broken down into different waste categories such as recyclable, compostable, and non-recyclable waste, providing an overview of the property's overall waste management.
How is it calculated?
Sum of weight of waste
* Includes only the waste registered during the specified time period.
Why is it important to follow?
Tracking waste amount (weight) is important for several reasons:
Sustainability goals and environmental impact
Measuring waste is a key part of understanding and reducing a property's overall environmental footprint. By tracking waste, property owners and managers can work to decrease waste generation and increase recycling rates.
Compliance with laws and regulations
Many countries have strict regulations regarding waste management and recycling. Tracking waste ensures that the property is compliant with these regulations and meets environmental standards.
Cost control
Reducing waste can lead to lower waste management and disposal costs. By monitoring this metric, property owners can identify areas where costs can be reduced.
Reporting and certifications
Many sustainability certifications, such as BREEAM or LEED, require properties to report waste amounts. Keeping track of this KPI can improve the property’s sustainability profile.
