Reducing carbon emissions involves multiple strategies, all of which apply here per the CIPS L3M6 module:
•A. Recycling: Diverting waste from landfills reduces methane emissions (a potent greenhouse gas) from decomposition.
•B. Waste Reduction: Less waste production lowers the energy and emissions tied to manufacturing and disposal processes.
•C. Water Conservation: While indirectly linked, reducing water use cuts energy for pumping/treatment, lowering associated emissions.
These methods collectively address the environmental footprint of procurement and supply activities, supporting LO2’s holistic approach to sustainability. For example, recycling steel in construction saves 74% of the energy used in virgin production, directly cutting emissions.
