Resource Efficiency - Business Support

The Resource Efficiency Centre project is designed to enable Lancashire companies to improve their profitability, competitiveness and environmental sustainability by making use of new technologies, expert advice and examples of best practice within the region.

For all eligible businesses, the REC project will pay for an individual site visit and environmental audit to identify opportunities to reduce waste and make cost savings. A detailed report will be compiled that will consider not only the extent of these opportunities but also likely payback periods and the return on investment. This is all provided free of charge.

Other forms of free support could include:

• Providing specialist consultancy support to address specific challenges or issues;
• Providing information about any relevant grants from the public sector - e.g. for installing insulation or solar panels;
• Identifying potential suppliers of micro-generation technology (such as turbines, photo-voltaic panels and ground heat source pumps);
• Identifying potential suppliers of waste saving technologies and other sustainable products and services;
• Hosting business workshops and clinics to disseminate professional advice and examples of best practice;
• Helping businesses to work together to develop innovative solutions to common challenges.
