Introduction to Waste Auditing

Welcome to the world of waste auditing! This webinar is for anyone that may be involved in planning, procuring, participating in and/or reviewing waste audit-related projects. Waste auditing is beneficial for companies to determine both the amount and types of waste that their processes produce. Recognizing this is the first step in figuring out how to eliminate and streamline the waste process.

Additionally, this will improve your company’s transparency and is part of 360° sustainability practices.
