The best way to reduce waste is by not creating it in the first place. In offices, workshops and laboratories, many objects that are still functional and materials that are still usable are thrown away every year.  Some items that are no longer needed are stored in drawers for years, only to be sorted out at some point during a general cleaning. This is where environmental management wants to start and calls for materials that are no longer needed to be passed on.
