● Waste happens because production process technology results in waste;
● Waste happens because companies care about costs but not much about impact on the environment.

Beach waste
COMPANIES MAKE WASTE● By how their PRODUCTS are designed;● By how their marketing and advertising operates to get people to buy more than they need;
● By how their performance MIS puts a big emphasis on PROFIT without considering PEOPLE and PLANET
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
PROCESSES produce WASTE● The processes that transform inputs into products produce more or less waste;
● The use of most energy types results ● in various forms of waste pollution.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
PRODUCT results in WASTE● The design of a PRODUCT has a role in reducing waste;
● Decisions about manufacturing PROCESS and SUPPLY CHAIN have a role in waste mitigation;
● The way PEOPLE use PRODUCT has a role in waste;
● The way PEOPLE discard PRODUCT and PACKAGING and the manner of recycling impact waste.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
PEOPLE MAKE WASTE● By how they buy PRODUCTS without any reference to the related waste;
● By how they use PRODUCTS with little consideration of the associated waste;
● By how they discard PRODUCTS after use;
● By buying too much;● By throwing away half used products;● By sloppy recycling or none at all.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
SYSTEMIC ISSUES● Conventional metrics ignore all costs of waste;
● There are few incentives to reduce waste;
● Recycling is usually inconvenient;● More sales produces more PROFIT, while more sales producing more waste is ignored.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
ATMOSPHERIC WASTESThe atmosphere is a convenient dumping ground. There are many different components:● Greenhouse gases; ● Particulates;● Sulphur dioxide and acid rain;● Nitrous oxides and automobile pollution;● Natural atmospheric pollution (e.g.volcanoes);● Aerosol propellants.
MULTI DIMENSION IMPACT ACCOUNTING
GREENHOUSE GASESThe Kyoto Protocol cover emissions of these six main greenhouse gases:● Carbon dioxide (CO2);● Methane (CH4);● Nitrous oxide (N2O);● Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs);● Perfluorocarbons (PFCs); and● Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6).
SHAME: The US did not sign the accord and Canada subsequently withdrew its agreement

WASTE in the ENERGY CYCLE● Air pollution has a bad impact on health and wellness, e.g.;● Urban smog containing particulates and noxious
compounds creates respiratory problems;● Rural cooking on open fires.
● Water pollution … bad impact;● Polluted water carries many water borne
diseases including cholera, dysentery and others;
● Solid Waste;● Dangerous toxins in solid waste migrate into the
supply chain for food, potable water, etc.
