13 WHY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?

14 WHY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?

15 DefiniIon of waste in terms of South African legislaion Waste means any substance, whether or NOT that substance can be reduced, re- used, recycled and recovered that is surplus, unwanted, rejected, discarded, abandoned or disposed of; which the generator has no further use of for the purposes of produceon

16 Unofficial definiion of waste Waste is really material that is the result of: environmentally unintelligent design of products or services and/or poor operaeonal praceces in the manufacture and use of products or services.

17 NATURE KNOWS NO WASTE

18 WHY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM? We need to see waste as a material or resource Waste is a human concept We buy and consume things wastefully Our economy is built on the wasteful produceon of goods and services We ve come to accept the existence of waste, polluion and resource depleion as an unavoidable consequence of our modern society and economy.

19 Food for Thought! There is enough for everybody s need but NOT everybody s greed (Mahatma Ghandi) hcp:// mentor.com

20 DefiniEons of Economy An economy is an area of the produceon, distribueon, or trade, and consumpeon of goods and services A green economy is low- carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in income and employment are driven by public and private investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollueon, enhance energy and resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services hcps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/economy

21 FROM A LINEAR TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY hcps://

22 FROM A LINEAR TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

23 THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY A circular economy - is restoraeve and regeneraeve by design, aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest uelity and value at all Emes, disenguishes between technical and biological cycles, a conenuous, posieve development cycle.

27 How do we use Circular Economy thinking to design waste out of a system CASE STUDY

28 CASE STUDY HOTEL VERDE

29 HOTEL VERDE S COMMITMENT As Africa s Greenest Hotel, Hotel Verde follows the principles of sustainable development by: minimising any environmental impact maximising wider social benefits following a resource and material efficient zero waste to landfill strategy in the procurement of goods and related services from suppliers.

30 GENERAL PRODUCT EVALUATION CRITERIA Better for the Guest evaluates the impact of suppliers operations, products and services on guest health focusing on efforts such as those that improve indoor air quality, help reduce allergens and minimize product toxicity. Better for the Community assesses suppliers economic, social, and environmental impacts as they relate to relationships in the workplace, the marketplace, the supply chain, the community, and the public policy realm. Better for the Planet measures suppliers efforts to protect the environment and preserve resources through its operations, products and services as reflected in its raw material use, carbon, energy, waste, and water footprints. Better for the Hotelier measures the positive contribution of suppliers operations, products and services to improving a hotel s sustainability, guest satisfaction and business performance.

31 THE OPERATIONAL MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN The elements of the OMMP are: Buyers Guide and a Suppliers Guide Sustainable procurement criteria in the form of Score Card Aided by Product informaeon sheet filled in by supplier/ manufacturer Assesses products across their life- cycle.

32 OPERATIONAL MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN Aim is to manage the following key consumables: Cleaning Chemicals Guest AmeniEes (Toiletries only) Laundry Chemicals Food and Beverages

33

34 SCORE CARD CRITERIA AREAS 1. Product composieon 2. ProducEon & manufacturing praceces 3. Product packaging and distribueon 4. Product performance 5. Price

35 PRODUCT COMPARISON Product Group: Guest Amenities Any soaps, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, bath additives or other personal toiletries Evaluation Criteria: Raw Material/Product Composition Evaluation Criteria: Production & Manufacturing Evaluation Criteria: Packaging & Distribution Supplier Company Name: Product Category: Product Name: Price Product Effectiveness overall score XYZ SUPPLIER Guest Amenities Product name XYZ SUPPLIER Guest Amenities Product name XYZ SUPPLIER Guest Amenities Product name XYZ SUPPLIER Guest Amenities Product name XYZ SUPPLIER Guest Amenities Product name Notes: Information will automatically pull through from each product input sheet - please do not make changes to this sheet. * to be determined from the score card evaluation from 0-10 where 0 is the worst impact and 10 is least impact The higher the score the better

41 OUTCOME OF THE OMMP A different way of doing things: Bulk supply Local suppliers Less packaging and take- back systems Less waste ComparaEve product informaeon Products that are becer for the environment, community, guest and hotelier

42 CHANGE THAT ENSURES THE RIGHT PRIORITIES

43 STEPS TOWARDS CREATING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY Re- think the way we make things Re- think the ingredients and packaging we choose and accept for our products Rethink the environmental and social ethics of suppliers Understand the true impact of products and services across their lifecycle
