Resource efficiency

• On average across the UK, organisations can save
  about 1 of turnover through waste minimisation
• Or around 1,000 per employee per year through
  manufacturing and about 250 through utilities
  savings
• About 5 billion per year could be added to the
  profits of British Manufacturing
• 300 million in Scotland alone
• And another 2 billion could be saved through
  energy efficiency
• ...just by adopting current good practice.
