As an SNV business. Sustainable thinking can a business in the ways: advisor you should know how toimprove have a conversation withfollowing a donor or investor about Sustainability and Inclusive Business. Now let’s look in more depth at the types of materials, energy, and water that Cost Savings Environmental Climate Business Risk your business consumes and produces Increasing efficiency reduces the cost of production, increasing profit margin. Impact Resiliency Increasing efficiency reduces material, energy and water consumption. Improves ability of business to cope with climate change. Diverse supply chains, lower costs, and increased resiliency reduces business risks. Click to continue Types of Inputs and Outputs Inputs and outputs to common business processes can be grouped into three categories: Material Materials can be broken into 4 groups: Energy Water For IB projects, consumed energy can be split into two groups: Water can be broken into 4 groups: Recyclable Potable Electrical Non-Recyclable Or Greywater And Organic Thermal Inorganic Blackwater Toxic Click to continue Material Disposal and Recycling Materials used or generated in any given production process can be split into 4 groups: Recyclable • Recyclable materials (either organic or inorganic) should be used wherever possible in the production process. • If the waste is high quality, it can often be sold and re-used in another manufacturing process. • Recycled material is often cheaper to purchase than non-recycled material. Non-Recyclable VS • Try to select biodegradable materials that can be composted and turned into fertilizer. • When neither recyclable or biodegradable materials are available, ensure that waste generated is disposed of properly. • In developing countries, waste collection services are often inadequate or unavailable. Waste is often disposed of improperly in landfills or in waterways. Or Organic • Derived from plant or animal material. • Can decompose and be used as fertilizer or as an energy source. Inorganic VS • Common types include metals, plastics, and glass. • Often can be recycled. Click to continue Material Reuse and Disposal The diagram below shows how different materials can be disposed of or reused. Recycle Inorganic Disposal Production Compost Organic Energy For more information on material reuse, please visit the Sustainability toolset: Sustainability Toolset – Material, Energy, and Water Use Mapping Tool Sustainability Toolset – Biomass Waste to Energy Tool Click to continue Renewable Energy Sources This chart shows renewable energy sources and how they can be used. Name Biomass Biogas Description Heat is generated from the combustion of densified biomass. Heat is generated by the combustion of biogas produced from biomass or other organics. Solar Electricity is generated using photovoltaic panels. Wind Electricity is generated using wind turbines. Uses Challenges • • • Cooking Space heating Heat for production processes • • Doesn’t burn as cleanly Should not be used in enclosed spaces. • • • Cooking Generating electricity Heat for production processes. • Investment in equipment to generate gas Investment in equipment to generate electricity • • • Domestic use Fed into electrical grid Immediate use (i.e. solar irrigation) • • Expensive at scale Dependent on adequate sources of sunlight. • Too expensive for most development applications Dependent on adequate sources of wind. • Fed into electrical grid • • Click to continue Water Disposal and Reuse The chart below shows how different water can be disposed of or reused. Potable • • • • • Highest quality (drinking water) Most expensive No restrictions on use Free of toxic chemicals and pathogens Opportunities to replace potable water with less expensive, greywater should be taken whenever it is safe to do so. Greywater • • • • Blackwater • • • Contaminated by faecal material and dangerous pathogens. Must be disposed of carefully. If de-watered (dried) and composted for a year or more, the heat will destroy potential pathogens. Manure can then be used as fertilizer. From household processes such as washing and cleaning. Re-used for cleaning, toilets, or irrigation. For irrigation, should be applied by drip systems or under mulch, not via spray. Always test for toxic chemicals and for excessive salinity. Toxic Water • • Contaminated by chemicals and is unsuitable for consumption, irrigation, or release as effluent into environment. Must be disposed of properly to prevent contamination of land or water sources. Always test water prior to use or release and comply with local environmental regulations.
