Wastes market – an element of pro-ecological management

Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Management - Year 2012, Vol 11, Issue 2

Abstract

Contemporary enterprises, to function successfully on a market, should focus not only on financial aspects and monitoring competitors but also on their positive image. Nowadays, consumers, as they have a wide variety of products to choose from, consider also environmental aspects of products and the impact producers have on the natural environment. Efficient and effective management is the ability to search for innovative solutions on every level of an organization. Wastes are always an outcome of an enterprise’s activity (unless production is wastes free). The Authors wish to prove that wastes are not an unavoidable problem but also a chance to earn some extra money and to process cheaper material in manufacturing processes. Wastes management should end with storing on the landfills stage. The goal of the following paper is the presentation of one of the alternative solutions in the wastes management area and proving it provides companies with a positive, ecological image and what is more, with extra profits. The alternative discussed is the joining in of wastes markets thanks to which enterprises purchase and sell wastes. Using the wastes markets presented enables the finding of buyers who can use the wastes given in their manufacturing processes. The buyers benefit from markets as well, as they can buy materials cheaper, decreasing their costs. Managers and company’s owners should not focus on the results of their everyday activities only, but also understand that the sustainable development idea is a chance of a better life for future generations.
