Sitemark provided 59 new strategies and ideas
The challenge
The University of Chester was looking for ratification of its recycling and waste processes and solutions that they have improved over the past two years to ensure they were achieving best practice. At the same time they were looking for any innovations that Sitemark could suggest to help the organisation move further up the hierarchy.
The solution
Sitemark’s independent benchmarking review provided an excellent match as a solution. Through the process all of the services and end of life solutions could be measured and reviewed with additional strategies being provided by Sitemark.
The results
Sitemark provides independent best practice benchmarking of facilities management services, helping clients improve standards, reduce costs and ensure best value for money.
Sitemark highlighted the innovative approach to recycling and waste through the Moby at the University of Chester. This amazing installation artwork positioned in the centre of the main site is designed to collect unwanted used plastic bottles which are then sent in bulk to a recycling facility and are retained in the circular economy.
59 new strategies and ideas were provided as a result of the benchmarking review that the University can implement in a variety of different ways.
The benchmarking results produced by Sitemark highlighted how successful the facilities and sustainability teams have been in retaining strong controls on costs as the facility was compared on a regional and business sector basis.
Sitemark identified clear cut opportunities to offset waste stream values against costs of at least 14% of the annual budget
Within the scope of the review the benchmarking process confirmed that a strong “zero to landfill” policy was in place and being adhered to.
The sustainability team having undertaken the recycling and waste review can apply the findings and data to future needs including the tender process, annual reviews, and comparison exercises to drive further sustainable solutions into the facility.
