Does a reusable system continue to deliver value after the initial payback period?

Where a business case identifies an expected payback period, the assessment shouldn’t stop at that point. Waste volumes, container use and operational requirements can change throughout a contract. Ongoing auditing, education, data analysis and service reviews can help identify further opportunities to improve segregation, container utilisation and collection schedules.

Sharpsmart also supports ongoing value through waste reduction programmes and savings initiatives such as system-wide waste policy development and ongoing blended learning.

This means value can continue to be assessed throughout the contract rather than treating implementation as a one-off exercise.
