Increasingly, waste management helps to improve efficiency, reduce operating expenses, and conserve natural resources. As such, companies see the need to assess the company’s waste stream and conduct a waste audit for their operation. As part of the Client’s sustainability efforts, TEMBUSU Asia (TAC) will assist the Client in developing a framework to ensure the traceability of various categories of waste and end-of-life treatment by the vendors.

This project is unique as there is limited standards and references in the logistic industry on the best practices. The Client was concerned about the reputational risks associated with its waste vendors and how they can monitor or influence their vendors’ actions related to sustainability issues. TAC supported the client in the analysis of international waste management practices and provided innovative solutions that would help the client to reach their sustainability goals. In doing this, TAC seeks to fulfill the United Nations SDG12: Sustainable Consumption and Production.
