Springwise: The initiative plans to create an online directory whereby any business in the district, from restaurants to offices, can post their unwanted but usable equipment, computers, furniture and books. Other local businesses in the market for such items can then search the directory and offer to take the items off their original owners’ hands. Not only does the environment benefit, but the scheme hopes to save businesses thousands of pounds in waste disposal and procurement costs, while forging closer ties among the local business community. Last year Olswang recycled an impressive 99% of its waste, setting an example for other companies in the area.
