Minimazing the use of '''Landfills''' as a means of [[waste disposal]] by providing enhanced information on [[recycling]] is one of the [[goals]] of [[Consumerium]]. ===Restaurants=== Take [[restaurant]]s for an example. I've worked at a restaurant and the [[work description]] of the [[dishwasher]] didn't include separating [[biowaste]] from non-degradables due to from what I heard from the manager this would require machine cooled [[biowaste]] storage areas due to rotting and the smell produced by it. Having [[staff]] do waste separation might slow the work down a little and in this case there would have to be a fixed investment in a [[cold room]] for Biowaste separation, so a [[price premium]] could be applied to restaurants that do this work to '''reduce landfill''' ===Retail=== Another example is retail. Do they recycle packaging materials such as [[cardboard]], [[carton]] and [[plastic]] wrappers that are discarded when the [[product]]s are received from [[logistics]] and placed on the [[shelf]] ===(Back-)Office=== Lots of [[paper]] waste is generated where [[management]] of businesses takes place. Another small but meaningful office-residue are [[coffee]]-grounds. Are these [[recycling|recycled]]? ===See also=== * [[Work description]]s that are to aim to describe all professions so that [[consumer]]s can see how much and what kind of work goes into a product and [[researcher]]s can look for points of improvement in practices
