saving picturerecycle pictureOTCN is working with Oxfordshire County Council's commercial waste team and specialists at the Environmental Information Exchange at Oxford Brookes University in a new campaign to help businesses cut costs, reduce waste and recycle more.

Through the Sustainable Business Oxfordshire campaign we are making free waste audits available to help you identify the measures you could take to reduce the impact of commercial waste on your business.

Drecycle picturean Dempsey, Sustainable Business Officer at Oxfordshire County Council, says: "Studies have shown that businesses that are successful environmentally are more likely to be successful financially. That's why Oxfordshire County Council, working with OTCN, the Environmental Information Exchange at Oxford Brookes University and the Oxfordshire Waste Partnership, have developed a programme of sustainability advice for business."

Oxfordshire businesses can benefit from a free onsite sustainability audit, where we'll show you how to save money by reducing your environmental footprint.

  • More than 6,000 tonnes of commercial waste was audited
  • If the recommendations made were taken up, savings totalling 3,414 tonnes could be made - that's the equivalent of more than 30,000 full 240-litre wheelie bins
  • Together the businesses that had an audit could cut a huge £597,836 from their commercial waste bills - that's an average of more than £1,200 per business each year!
 
We'd like to say a massive thank you to all the businesses that have worked with us so far. For a full list of those we worked with in 2007/8 click here.
