Sustainable Resource Management in

12. • What? - Taking action to optimise the
sustainable use of materials
• Real Results:
“We changed waste from a cost of ~£80k a
year to a co-product that we sell for an annual
income in excess of £200k, this action has acted
to meet the supply-chain goals of our key
customers.”
Andrew Maguire, MIEMA, Kepak
RES: Efficiency & Effectiveness

13. • What? - Maintaining a reliable supply of key
materials
• Real Issues:
“Without a clear view of supply risks and an
active and ambitious strategy to manage those
risks, businesses will be increasingly
vulnerable to price volatility, supply chain
disruption and business continuity risks”
Susanne Baker, AIEMA, EEF
RES: Security

14. • What? - Managing material flows so they
replenish supply
• Real Action:
“We see closed loop innovation as a major
business opportunity”

delivering orders...helps differentiate our
business in a competitive market”
