Throughout 2008/9 we'll be attending networking, chamber and business group events around the county to promote our
offer of free waste audits for Oxfordshire businesses.
OTCN 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.
Dan 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.
Last financial year, 485 Oxfordshire businesses took part in this programme, making tremendous savings:
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
