Site Description Architecture firm Archivision has occupied a small office building, strategically located on a main road that builds up traffic even during office hours. Being on a strategic position in an industrial area makes the building attractive to other office occupants, but the building management, along with its poor waste management, has made occupying less attractive because of this temporary environmental problem facing them. Garbage collection is inappropriate while the firm produces a great amount of paper and ink wastes, not to mention the food waste and from other activities in the kitchen and in the suites. Archivision occupies 18 out of 24 suites, which use computer printouts for their work. The building’s two-level structure exacerbates the situation because it has only one rest room and a kitchen facility for all occupants of the building. The building owner, the Body Corporation, has no concern for waste management partly due to lack of funds to cope with the increasing waste, or they have left it to the occupants to settle the matter. There is a little bit of conscience however, because the owner assigned a janitorial service company to clean the kitchen, restrooms and hallways, so-called communal areas, only once a week. The suites are under the occupants’ responsibilities, where they have to clean and gather their trash and collect them for a common waste bin, situated down the car park. The contracted company collects the garbage once a week. One thing worse is that there is no recycling process, and the garbage collector disposes of all the trash in the same manner. The occupants have so much of paper trash, stationery, ink, other solid waste and lunch waste, which should have a segregation and recycling process, but are just left there and mixed in a common garbage container. The usual process of disposing of wastes includes collecting the trash from the common waste bin, collected every Friday, and there is no other means of recycling or reusing the materials from the suites. These materials are potential 3R materials (recycle-reduce-reuse) since paper and ink can be recycled and used for other purposes. The Body Corporation worries much for other matters and sees things not the occupants’ ways, who want to settle the issue of waste management so that they can proceed with other business activities without the thought of environmental problems they may have caused. Rationale for waste assessment The occupants want to settle this issue of waste management even if it may cost them a bit. The issue is of paramount importance. They want to help create a clean environment and minimise spending on stationery and office supplies. They have to do something and institute new waste management measures. Archivision produces paper and ink wastes, which can be solved with simple waste management techniques, or recycle-reuse processes. Even simple paper reuse can help reduce the increasing paper trash piling up under their tables and in their small bins. The firm’s clients exacerbate the situation by carelessly throwing their garbage underneath the tables. Their suites are not presentable offices; rather they present a dirty picture for their firm. The solution requires a plan and a process, taking into ac
