WCM® is a comprehensive solution for waste management which is designed to reduce the costs and environmental impact throughout the value chain.
First and foremost, Waste Chain Management reflects an attitude. Working according to WCM means that SAR and their customers always will treat ‘waste’ as a valuable resource, as opposed to viewing ‘waste’ as a problem.
Secondly, WCM also reflects a circular economy. WCM manages all aspects of the waste chain – from before a resource becomes ‘waste’ until the resource is brought back into a new life cycle.
This circular production policy includes all stages - from creation of waste, collection, receival, classification, sorting, transportation, and recycling into a new resource.
Drilling waste from the offshore operations and other polluting fluids are even treated in SAR's own facilities.
The concept is based on the recognition that a resource has a life cycle. The goal is to retain the resource for as long as possible through its lifecycle by optimizing recycling of the resource and energy recovery, and by simply limiting the volume of resources consigned to a landfill.
Minimizing the volume of waste in landfills will also reduce the leakage of methane gas from decomposition of organic materials into the atmosphere.
Therefore, WCM provides a two-fold value for a company: Cost efficiency and compliance to environmental standards and regulations.
WCM can be a competitive advantage for you.
WCM is also important for a company’s reputation because it clearly demonstrates their ability to handle waste in a responsible manner.
The authorities are constantly increasing standards to protect the environment, and the manufacturer of the waste is responsible for compliance.
Sustainable Waste Chain Management is therefore a key task in all businesses which produce waste of whatever kind in their manufacturing process.
SAR takes an overall responsibility and handles all the three key aspects of waste management on behalf of the customer:
WCM® is a concept that also embraces GAP analyses, Waste Chain Management plans, training, and awareness-raising. The concept helps minimize waste volumes at the customer site, by examining the whole lifecycle, from procurement of the raw material to the delivery of the finished product. SAR is always looking to optimize operating procedures and downstream solutions for all waste we manage on behalf of customers.
WCM® helps the customer save both time and money, as well as give them a documented environmentally friendly profile.
All companies, regardless of size and industry, can gain benefit from SAR’s WCM-concept. We will assist companies to identify the optimal solutions to both large and small challenges, waste issues and ensure that all the governmental requirements and guidelines are met.
Larger customers working with SAR can be confident that their entire waste chain is performed in accordance with regulatory requirements and industrial best practices. In the same way, smaller customers can enjoy the same standards, despite not having the same internal resources as a larger company.
SAR's overriding vision for our services is "no harm" to man, environment, or equipment.
Our experience and expertise are an important factor in reducing costs.
Demanding clients makes SAR a trustworthy and cost-efficient partner. SAR works together with a wide range of companies, some of them very small and with no dedicated resources within waste management and some of them large oil companies with great inhouse resources, high demands and standards.
