Resource Efficiency

Energy, water and waste can often be big costs to manufacturing businesses and food waste has an understandably high profile with many groups which is set to increase as policy moves towards mandatory reporting. Single-use plastics have come under the spotlight since the BBC’s Blue Planet II brought the issue of ocean plastics to a wider audience and other issues are not far behind.

The circular economy is a new(-ish) term for an old idea, treating ‘waste’ as a resource, but the concept is as valid as it has ever been. Taken together with general resource efficiency, ‘circular’ thinking can save money and open up new opportunities. With many larger organisations adopting standards such as ISO14001 (environmental management) and ISO50001 (energy management) there can be additional benefits from aligning to your customers’ priorities. A good environmental record is also a proven means of attracting and retaining talent.

Regulation is also evolving, with mandatory food waste reporting likely to happen in England in the next few years. We have experience of working with businesses across a range of categories  on measurement and reporting to an established international standard used across the nations of the UK.

Green Knight can help you work through your resource consumption, including formal life-cycle assessments, identify opportunities to make savings, contextualise these more broadly and communicate them to your key stakeholders.

    Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble has moved to reduce its plastic packaging by introducing shampoo bars across some of its biggest brands, joining a growing trend for plastic-free and “waterless” beauty products. The move, which was announced at the Reuters Responsible Business Europe summit in June, will see the bars rolled out on its Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Herbal Essences and Aussie brands. The new bars are the equivalent of up to two 250ml liquid shampoo bottles. Image: Channels: Communications and Engagement

  • Can Climate Tech Fulfill its Promise?

    Date/Time: August 8, 2022 (1-2PM ET / 10-11AM PT) Climate change is simultaneously an existential threat and an unprecedented opportunity to create a more ecologically regenerative, socially just world. Can technology solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges by averting the former and unlocking the latter? What else, beyond technology, is most needed now? Climate tech solutions enabling the transformation of energy, transportation, food and carbon removal markets are already demonstrating enormous potential to confront the climate crisis and improve peoples’ lives. But between the real-world impacts of climate change making these solutions more urgent and the headwinds of political pushback and an economic downturn, how are these technologies likely to fare in fulfilling that promise? Join the GreenBiz analysts covering four of the most dynamic climate tech markets to share what they’re tracking and projecting. Among the things we’ll explore:
