Part A A. Legislation and sources of information for resources and initiatives 1. Identify the environmental regulations, which apply in your local government area relevant to your workplace activities and provide details what is covered by these regulations and by-laws. The Australian governance makes it an offence for any personnel to take an action that is possible to have a major impact on matters protected by the Act to environment, unless they have the support of the Australian environment minister. Protected matters are matters of national environmental consequence as well as the environment of Commonwealth land. The eight matters of national environmental significance protected by the EPBC Act are:  World heritage properties  National heritage places  wetlands of international importance (listed under the Ramsar Convention)  Migratory species protected under international agreements  Listed threatened species and ecological communities  Commonwealth marine areas  The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, and  Nuclear actions (including uranium mines). The EPBC Act also applies to actions that have an impact on the environment on Commonwealth land, and to actions taken by the Australian Government, and Australian Government agencies which are likely to have a significant impact on the environment. 2. Identify any resources and initiatives which are in place or available in your state to help business to reduce their waste and use resources more efficiently. The GREP (Government Resource Efficiency Policy) aims to reduce the operating costs of NSW Government agencies and ensure that they provide leadership in resource productivity. The GREP requires agencies to:  Incorporate resource-efficiency considerations in all major decisions  Focus on the challenge posed by rising costs for energy, water, clean air and waste management  Seek to leverage their purchasing power when procuring resource-efficient technology and services  Publish annual statements of their performance against the policy

3. Measure the flow rate for water of various taps using the formula “Flow rate = Volume/Time (L/min)” Item Litre per cycle Time Flow rate Under bench 2.5 1 min 2.5 Rack conveyor 3.5 1 min 3.5 Sinks 25 1 min 25 4. Inspect the type of lighting used and determine the KW/H (1000 Watt = 1 KWH) used in that department based on typical or given workplace practices during operation. Light type NAME QTY POWER (WATT) Energy saving bulbs Olsten 35 60 Tubes Sylvania 15 22 Bulbs Edison 15 105 Led lights Phillips 30 4 5. Inspect the provisions for recycling. Avoid: - Means creating zero waste. Products that have no waste associated with it should be chosen first. For example, do not use the plastic item such as plastic bag or plastic cup instead to use the paper bag or paper cup which can recycled. Reduce: - Use less of a product or engineer waste out of the production pathway. Reuse: - Re-use containers, packaging or re-use bottle. Recycle: - Items that cannot be reused can be recycled. For example, used paper can be shredded and used to create recycled paper. Energy recovery: - composting, incineration for power generation and other ways for using the components of a product. 6. Determine the intervals of waste collection and determine the size of the cubicle(s) used. My business would raise the capacity of the trash container to 400 litres in case of waste bin, recycling bin and electronic bin, and it could be obtained once a week. Recycling bin is does not smell for long, so that every 2nd week, it is best to get 300 litres. It is not filled until half a month with an electro bin of 150 litres. It is also cheaper to reduce the expense by the 75- liter bins. This is the product of the following graph.

7. This task is performed outside: Wearing gloves and using tongs, physically inspect the contents of garbage bins from your department and inspect the approximate waste for each category (Glass, paper, card board, green waste etc) and express these in percent (approximately).

Determine the energy consumption ratings, use and settings of air conditioners and heaters where applicable and document the potential KWH usage for these units. 4KW electric heating system 1.50 KW of electric oven (aided fan) Top cooking electric stove (large hood) 1.10 kW. Cooking (small hot-hotplate) electric stove 0.70 W Heater (no thermostat) for electric strips of 1 kW 9. Determine the resources required for any plants, landscaping or outside areas as relevant. Both of these projects will focus on sea organisation, air quality, air transition, ecology, domain formation and an associated supporting epoch, and allow our cabin to be hot and cold. External space organization and strategy should be seen as a fundamental part of the logical design of our motel. Sensitive orchestrating is a way of identifying and constructing the wrong scenes that integrate our structures and upgrade the existing standard scenes. Preferably, these scenarios should maintain up and make themselves a little bit of the normal cycles of the region 10. List the purchasing strategies, which are currently in place including environmentally sustainable approaches; carbon foot print considerations (for example use local supplies from growers etc.) Sustainable procurement aims to reduce the adverse environmental, social and economic impacts of purchased products and services throughout their life. Examples of environmental, social and economic impacts are:

C. Setting efficiency targets 1. Analyse the results you have obtained for usage of resources and compare these results against: Work and workflow processes: – which improvements could be made?  The proper setting of machines and appliances  Use of correct recycling techniques  Use of appliances and devices that save water  Economical energy equipment and implementation of this equipment Industry Schemes: – How do your results compare? My practice Industry practice Setting of air condition @ 18C Setting of air condition @ 20-22C Same basket for waste and recycled materials Various waste and recycled goods containers Technology: – Are you using efficient technology? Use of energy-efficient appliances like:  Dishwasher  Towards the Lights  Bulb  AC  Computer based framework Resources: – Is there a benefit of switching e.g. from electricity to gas in some areas or using other measures? The advantages of changing or using other steps in such fields are as follows:  Saving money  Energy savings  Greenhouse gas pollution reduction  Reduce contamination or pollution Best Practice: – Are there recommendations from manufacturers or bodies that recommend particular practices?  Set 20-22C air temperature  Switch off gas if not in service  Shut taps to prevent water from dripping

 Disable lights if not in service  Usage of reusable bins with biodegradable collection Set your targets in a table or spreadsheet based on your findings of the analysis. According to different types of charts and analysis, we came to find out different type of our leakage of money from unnecessary thing and drawbacks, which can be easily saved. For example, we managed the bins so that we are able to save lots of money. The energy saving chart shows us about the lots of variance between our target and real amount of electricity bills. Water consumption is the most focused item after the analysis. It is the way to save the environmental resources as well. Followed by water meter we came to the analysis about the gas meter. We need to control the gas flow because there is the amount variance. From the below table we finally came to know the reason behind the over use of resources. From now on, we can control the unnecessary wastage of energy and resources.

c. Work out your collection requirements  Total the volumes of each type of waste per day  Some items can be combined such as glass, metal, plastic, paper & milk cartons – referred to as ‘co-mingled’ waste. (but, no food scraps, polystyrene or plastic bags)  Calculate the required bin size and frequency of collection – e.g. if your property produced 242.5 liters of ‘co-mingled waste’ per week then 1 x 250 liter bin should be sufficient with a once a week collection frequency. d. Review the packaging from your supplies Attempt to reduce or eliminate waste at the source Supplier Packaging used on delivery Waste Disposal issues Opportunities for Avoidance Benefits Spices and Herbs Pty 100g plastic bags packed in Corrugated boxes Too much plastic and corrugated packaging takes up bin space Use bags that can carry more than 100g - 1 – 10kgs to save up on plastic. Less plastic and use of corrugated material. General Stores Pty Fruit and vegetables delivered in large corrugated boxes Large boxes take space and are hard to throw away because of size Use plastic crates which can be returned after delivery to be re-used Reduce environment pollution. Juice Juice bottles delivered in glass bottles Glass is heavy, easily damaged and pollutes Change to PET bottles PET bottles can be recycled and does not take bin space

Part B 1. The purpose of the plan Using more conventional resources  Use more activities which support the environment  To make better sense of the community  Understand visitors and their desires to learn 2. An overview what has been undertaken and why Plan Reason Temperature adjustment change air quality Energy and money saving Lights for power saving Energy and money saving Off tap water if it is not used Energy and money saving 3. The resource areas and targets you have established based on Section 3, Part A; Resources Target Electricity Save $4 as well as energy Water Save $0.9 as well as 15L of water per day 4. The measures and tools you will implement to achieve these targets;  To make sure everything is reviewed by using checklists  Regularly fill up the temperature logs  Recycle items should be checked for recycling  Ensure that the recycle is still recycled  Water taps should be off if not used 5. Strategies that can be used to ensure staff compliance with environmental requirements and to achieve new targets;  Easy access to the procedures.  Staff that conform to protocols are rewarded.  Meeting is held every month  Sets job goals  Always have more and more group discussions 6. Strategies you will use for purchasing and selection of supply chains;  Use of suppliers' strong standing  Buy local commodities  Use renowned providers  Downloading fewer products that are shipped  Towards the sustainable use of energy

 A bulk purchase  Subsequent distribution of recyclable packaging  The policies of trade, etc. 7. A calculation that will provide information as to the potential savings that can be achieved over time, given the investment; For example: Example 10 light bulbs rated at 0.040 kWh (0.4kWh) could be replaced with 10 energy saving bulbs rated at 0.010 kWh (0.1kWh) which represent an energy saving of 0.3 kWh. 8. The provisions for communication to periodically discuss and network with colleagues to make adjustments and identify progress; Every company has various communication methods according to its history, size and scale. The method of conversation has to be appropriate for the viewer and the opportunity. Various means of communicating results may be used. They are as follows:  Standard meetings  Updates for emails and details summary  Noticeboards for the staff room  Management meetings  Newsletters Reports on the project management platform  Outside networks 9. A spreadsheet or set of tools which can be used to record and monitor periodic results from readings and invoices/ statements for utilities; Set of instruments for recording and monitoring results: Products Methods Microwave Watt Log Refrigerator Temperature Log Air Conditioner Temperature Log Freezer Temperature Log Recycle Bin Checklist 10. Examples how you will evaluate strategies and make adjustments to the improvement plan. Involve stakeholders: To successfully track, assess and evaluate operations, all appropriate stakeholders should be involved. It is possible to communicate the advantages of the programs in a clear manner and to provide the appropriate resources. Opening up of the intelligence process helps consumers to gain greater legitimacy.
