IMPLEMENTING:
Sustainable Resource Management in
Your Business
RES: Efficiency & Effectiveness
• What? - Taking action to optimise the
sustainable use of materials
• Real Results:
“We changed waste from a cost of ~£80k a
year to a co-product that we sell for an annual
income in excess of £200k, this action has acted
to meet the supply-chain goals of our key
customers.”
Andrew Maguire, MIEMA, Kepak
www.iema.net/rm
RES: Efficiency & Effectiveness
Advice on Action
•
Getting Started
• Review sources of waste, and uses of key materials – with aim
to redistribute and reduce purchasing
•
Ramping up
• Focus on reducing resource intensity (material per unit output)
•
Leading the Way
• Focus on Effectiveness minimise resource inputs,
avoid negative env / soc consequences, provide a
net positive contribution
www.iema.net/rm
RES: Security
• What? - Maintaining a reliable supply of key
materials
• Real Issues:
“Without a clear view of supply risks and an
active and ambitious strategy to manage those
risks, businesses will be increasingly
vulnerable to price volatility, supply chain
disruption and business continuity risks”
Susanne Baker, AIEMA, EEF
www.iema.net/rm
RES: Security
Advice on Action
•
Getting Started
• Conduct a resource resilience review – to develop understand key
materials business relies upon across supply-chain
•
Ramping up

• Develop networks to further understanding & co-ordinate action
• Explore opportunities to improve value of materials
Case study: Rolls-Royce REVERT

• What? - Managing material flows so they
replenish supply
• Real Action:
“We see closed loop innovation as a major
business opportunity”
Becky Coffin, MIEMA, Kingfisher
“Collecting recycling from our customers, when
delivering orders...helps differentiate our
business in a competitive market”
Toby Robins, AIEMA, Wiles Greenworld
www.iema.net/rm
RES: Cycling
Advice on Action
•
Getting Started
• Build organisational understanding of resource cycling opportunities
through review of case studies and value-chain engagement
•
Ramping up
• Review opportunities for re-use and re-distribution in organisation &
supply-chain
• Take action to enhance products disassembly / recyclability
•
Leading the Way
