Should Companies Spend Money to Reduce Wastes & Recycle? Not if it doesn't help their Bottom Line!

Nov. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Most companies & organizations are under pressure to “Go Green” and to control their increasingly high waste disposal costs. Yet in these difficult economic times, it has to make business sense for them to invest in waste disposal & recycling equipment equipment. So how can they know whether it would be worthwhile? A new free “Guide to Calculate Savings from Waste Disposal & Recycling Equipment” is now available for companies & organizations to determine what their likely outcome would be –based on facts rather than opinions or prejudgments.

This 11 page Guide gives helpful information, including tables that show overall savings from waste waste reduction in relation to the cost of equipment. It is a practical tool which includes formulas they can use to calculate their likely “Break-Even” level (where the savings offset the cost of the equipment; “Payback” (how long it will take for savings to equal the cost of equipment; and” Return on Investment” (the percentage return they get on their cost of equipment). The Guide can be used as a workbook so companies can just plug in their own figures to make the calculations for their particular situation.

Many businesses are surprised to find that they can actually come out ahead money-wise, frequently with full payback from their equipment investment within 2 years or less. On the other hand, some business’ calculations may show that the equipment would cost more than what they would save. Equipment now available (e.g. compactors, balers, crushers) is very efficient and can reduce the volume of wastes up to 90% by compacting, and can also convert wastes into recyclable form. Savings on disposal costs of 50% or more is typical. And companies can get additional revenues by recycling. The only way for a company to know their likely result is to do their own calculation. All types of businesses and organizations, regardless of industry category or size of operations, can find this Guide useful, since they all have wastes that they need to dispose of.

The Guide also covers other “less-quantifiable” benefits of waste reduction & recycling, including such factors as: saving space, saving time, improving operational efficiencies, improved safety, and strengthening the organization’s image. There are also significant environmental benefits.  And with more money available, companies are in a better position to create additional jobs, thereby also benefitting the economy. Even though these benefits are difficult to measure in dollar terms, they further add to the value of investing in such equipment. “Going GREEN not only means benefitting the environment but should also mean more money to those who decrease their wastes & recycle” says Paul Juhnke, President of Waste Disposal Equipment Co, the developer of this Guide.
