Get an A+ at school for waste reduction.

March 19, 2024

Balancing the books in any school budget is a challenge. Ask any school Business Manager and they will talk about cuts, austerity and reduced budgets. So how do schools save on procurement costs while still providing the vital consumables schools need to operate?

To save money, every school should consider a waste reduction and product distribution system.

Teaching students about the War on Waste is only part of the solution. Providing students with tools and resources to limit their use of products or to dispose of them effectively is a clever way to reduce usage while helping manage the financial bottom line of your school.

  • Equipment such as towel, paper and sanitiser dispensers are a simple way to manage this while still allowing students autonomy in their usage.
  • School-related PPE is not something that can be reused but ensuring that students sanitise before accessing products will limit the possibility of contamination and the longevity of your product supply.
  • Using appropriate chemical and cleaning liquids through distribution dispensing systems allows for cleaning and janitorial supplies to stretch for longer, and thus saving costs over the budget term.
