THE BIGGER PICTURE
WHY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?
WHY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?
‘Waste’ – means any substance, whether or NOT that substance can be reduced, re-‐used, recycled and recovered –
• that is surplus, unwanted, rejected,
• discarded, abandoned or disposed of;
• which the generator has no further use of for the purposes of producEon
DefiniIon of waste – in terms of South African legislaIon
Waste is really material that is the result of:
• environmentally unintelligent design of products or services and/or
• poor operaEonal pracEces in the manufacture and use of products or services.
“Unofficial definiIon of waste”
NATURE KNOWS NO WASTE
We need to see “waste” as a material or resource
• Waste is a human concept • We buy and consume things wastefully • Our economy is built on the “wasteful” producEon of goods and services
We’ve come to accept the existence of waste, polluIon and resource depleIon as an unavoidable consequence of our modern society and economy.
WHY DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?
Food for Thought !

• There is enough for everybody’s need but NOT everybody’s greed (Mahatma Ghandi)
DefiniEons of “Economy” • An economy is an area of the producEon, distribuEon, or trade, and consumpEon of goods and services
• A green economy is low-‐carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive. In a green economy, growth in income and employment are driven by public and private investments that reduce carbon emissions and polluEon, enhance energy and resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services

FROM A LINEAR TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
FROM A LINEAR TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
A circular economy -‐ • is restoraEve and regeneraEve by design, • aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest uElity and value at all Emes,
• disEnguishes between technical and biological cycles,
• a conEnuous, posiEve development cycle.

CASE STUDY
CASE STUDY – HOTEL VERDE
HOTEL VERDE’S COMMITMENT
As “Africa’s Greenest Hotel”, Hotel Verde follows the principles of sustainable development by: • minimising any environmental impact • maximising wider social benefits • following a resource and material efficient “zero waste to landfill” strategy
in the procurement of goods and related services from suppliers.
GENERAL PRODUCT EVALUATION CRITERIA
Better for the Guest evaluates the impact of suppliers’ operations, products and services on guest health focusing on efforts such as those that improve indoor air quality, help reduce allergens and minimize product toxicity. Better for the Community assesses suppliers’ economic, social, and environmental impacts as they relate to relationships in the workplace, the marketplace, the supply chain, the community, and the public policy realm.
Better for the Planet measures suppliers’ efforts to protect the environment and preserve resources through its operations, products and services as reflected in its raw material use, carbon, energy, waste, and water footprints.
Better for the Hotelier measures the positive contribution of suppliers’ operations, products and services to improving a hotel’s sustainability, guest satisfaction and business performance.
