A kick-starter introduction to my theory and concept of waste equity for business and government.

1. Waste Equity
Making the most of waste.

2. Types of Waste Equity
• Product/Process Waste
Example: In the
production of
strawberry jam there is
waste of strawberries
throughout. Think of
the jam left in the jar.
Multiply that weight by
a few million.
• Performance Waste
Example: In the office
we waste time and
resources daily.

3. What is Waste Equity?
• Waste equity is the hidden value in production
and performance that can be tapped into to
improve the business or service by making it
more green efficient and fairer.
• The equity value is established by assessment
of the total value in full consumption and the
amount wasted. For example think of an apple
and how much you throw away.

4. W. Edwards Deming and Waste Equity
• Deming in the 1950s proposed to improve
profits not through more production but
through better production, i.e., by reducing
breakages. In other words if you produce ten
bottles and two bottles are broken, then by
improving quality control you might have one
bottle broken. Here you achieve a profit
without increasing production. This principle
can be applied to waste equity.

5. The Objectives of Waste Equity
• Waste equity is similar to property equity
which is the sum of the difference between
the original price paid for it and the current
value. In this the sum has future value in
terms of investment. The goal would be to
free the waste equity as in property equity to
pay for waste reduction services and initiate
new businesses and services connected to
improving the environment

7. Steps towards Greener business
• If we state that production and performance
has a waste to total consumption ratio of 20
to 80. Then we can work with this sum.
• We can borrow against the potential reduction
in waste. This will be eight percent. This sum
would be used to pay for measures to reduce
waste over a period of years.

8. The benchmarking of Waste Reduction
• Here Demings Cycle can be employed. So too
can the EU waste catalogue. We identify the
amount of waste
Then utilize 8% W. E.
We reduce by 20 percent

9. Waste Bonds and vouchers
• In government expenditure, one could issue
waste equity bonds for the international and
domestic markets. With the same principles,
the government could raise a large sum that
would be used to finance several ventures
including waste related businesses (recycling
and services which could be exportable).

10. Waste Equity Bonds
• The issue of the bonds would be strategic with
the option of buying shares in companies
connected with waste reduction. The portfolio
would be based on the EU waste catalogue. In
other words a whole new sector could be
created from releasing the waste equity.

11. Return on Waste Equity
• As more and more waste is reduced, the value
of the equity decreases. It is balanced by the
revenue from the new services connected to
recycling, restoration etc. There is a shift to
returns from investment.

your business or service and tapping into
waste equity let me know.

13. Pareto’s Principle
• If we look at production and performance we
can say that roughly 80 percent of them is at
the expense of 20 percent waste.
• This is a staggering sum. It should be the focus
of every business or service.
