Our ethos

You cannot solve a problem with the same mindset that created it
- Albert Einstein

Look at the bigger picture. We live on a beautiful planet and we all have a responsibility in its protection and enhancement. One of the critical issues facing our society is how we husband our planet's resources and the legacy we leave our children (there are certainly some disconcerting facts in this area).  ?   ?   ?   ? 

We need to establish systems that make the most of the limited resources we have - whether they be the air we breathe, the water we drink, or the materials extracted to create the multitude of products we use. As a start, our approach to waste needs to change and Beyond Waste is here to help that change happen.

Beyond Waste is a dynamic company created in order to make an active contribution to the global transition from a waste economy to a resource economy. We are committed to treading as lightly on the earth as we can, and encourage our clients to do the same wherever possible. We do this through the specialist advice we give our clients, as well as through our own business practices, in accordance with our sustainability policy.

The UK's ecological footprint has been calculated to be 4.72 hectares per person - that's about the size of two international football pitches each (The New Economics Foundation). If every citizen of the planet had a similar footprint, 3 planet earths would be needed.
For 10g of gold nearly 5 tonnes of earth is displaced.
Each household produces nearly 1 tonne of waste per year - that's about the weight of a Smart car.
For every tonne of waste each household produces more than 7 tonnes of waste has been generated through the production cycle - that means each household is responsible for a mass of waste heavier than an African bull elephant each year!
