What if every ton of your waste could generate profit?
Across Europe, businesses spend an average of €160 per ton just to dispose of their waste.
That means thousands of euros are lost every year — often without realizing that waste, when managed properly, can become a profitable resource.
The Waste to Value Calculator helps you uncover how much money your organization could save and earn by turning waste into value.
How much does waste actually cost your business?
According to WeGoZero’s waste audits across multiple sectors, the average commercial waste cost sits at €160 per ton, covering logistics, sorting, and landfill fees.
For a medium-sized venue generating 300 tons per year, that’s nearly €48,000 in disposal costs — money that could be redirected into sustainability initiatives.
By separating recyclable materials and optimizing collection contracts, venues can reduce that cost by up to 35%, while also generating new revenue streams from materials like:
- Aluminium – high resale value (€1,000–€1,300 per ton)
- Cardboard – €70–€150 per ton
- Plastics and glass – depending on purity and contamination levels
The Shift from Waste Cost to Waste Value
Traditional waste management focuses on disposal.
Circular waste management focuses on value recovery — rethinking materials, processes, and contracts to keep resources in the loop.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- Reduced landfill fees
- Increased recycling rebates
- Measurable CO₂ reduction
- Better sustainability reporting (ESG & CSRD alignment)
WeGoZero’s approach integrates these aspects into a single model — the Waste to Value strategy — to help companies track, optimize, and monetize their waste streams.
Calculate Your Profit from Waste
The Waste to Value Calculator gives an instant overview of your venue’s or company’s potential profit from waste.
You can calculate it in two ways:
- By waste cost – Enter your annual waste management cost.
- By waste volume – Enter your annual waste in tons.
In seconds, you’ll see your potential savings, CO₂ reduction, and revenue from recyclables.
