We are currently evaluating areas such as paper use, email storage, cleaning products and all our processes to try to reduce waste. We will keep you posted with our progress. 

Whiteacres is really looking forward to this journey and carry out bit for the environment! We are already reviewing and looking at things like;

• Printing less paper and carrying out more duties on line or with the aid of technology thus reducing paper;
• Reviewing the lighting within the building and choosing a solution that takes less power / electricity;
• Managing our waste whereby we are re-cycling more off our waste;
• Reviewing our cleaning products ensuring where possible they are eco-friendly;
• Turn electrics and computers off policy when rooms are not in use;
• Ensure our food waste is effectively managed, re-cycled and allocated to the correct food waste agencies.
• Un-used, un-allocated medicines, vaccines, clinical equipment is disposed of safely via our re-cycling agency to ensure safetly, compliance and due-diligence
• Electrical waste (Old electrical equipment that does NOT contain any DATA) is disposed at our local electrical re-cycling waste unit. 
• Old computers are disposed of via our IT company whom follow strict guidelines for data management, storage, and destruction to ensure at all stages that data security is never compromised - even when computers are disposed off.
