  • High consumption of A4, A3 and A1 paper.

  • Single-sided paper is often discarded.

  • Heavy reliance on hard-copy filing.`````

  • Old drawings, computers, printers and unused furniture occupy about 20% of office space.

  • Rusting unused steel accumulates in the waste area.

  • Leftover concrete is allowed to harden and later broken down for scrap.

  • Dust and debris are found around the factory and open yard.

  • No formal recycling programme is in place.

  • Minor water leaks are found around the factory premises.

    • High energy consumption from production equipment.

    • Compressed air leaks causing energy losses.

    • Excessive water usage in cleaning and operations.

    • Poor segregation of production waste and recyclables.

    • Idling forklifts and vehicles generating unnecessary emissions.

    • Packaging material waste from incoming and outgoing goods.

    • Noise pollution affecting workers and surrounding areas.

    • Heat generated from machinery increasing cooling requirements.
