Implementation of an Eco Warranty compliant system can reduce waste, cost, and inefficiency. It not only aids the preservation of our natural resources, it can reduce the cost of finding more or new resources. Ensuring that the right controls are in place can reduce the impacts on the environment from emissions, spills, leaks, and other environmental accidents and incidents. By managing the risks of negative environmental impacts, future compliance costs, site clean-up costs, insurance costs, lawsuit costs, and fines can be minimised or even negated.
Additional benefits can include improvements to employee safety and morale, the use of alternative and/or less hazardous materials, and reduced need for special equipment, training, and storage areas.
Managing environmental operations and practices can also result in a dramatic reduction in the cost of waste disposal. Protecting the environment by Eco Warranty compliance can also reduce the incidence of visits by regulatory auditors and other similar local government inspectors, thereby causing less disruption to the business activities.
