How NW-CWM Can Help

The North West Centre for Waste Management (CWM) programme was developed in 2006 to help businesses in Lancashire, Cumbria and Greater Manchester to improve their environmental performance, adopt more sustainable waste management practices, become more competitive and save money.

It does this through a range of services, most of which are delivered to eligible businesses completely free of charge. The project can help you to reduce costs by minimising waste and by improving the efficiency of your existing systems and processes. Already, as you can see on the Case Studies page of our Resources section, the project has saved regional businesses many thousands of pounds and has helped them to introduce measures that will yield further substantial savings, year on year.

In addition to its various services, the project has introduced a free environmental awards scheme that is designed to raise customer awareness about the achievements and enhanced sustainability of participating companies. Through these awards and a dedicated publicity campaign, the project can give your business valuable exposure.

More details about how to take advantage of the NW-CWM's services can be found on our Getting Support page, but if you have any specific queries, please contact us.
