# How do I identify the biggest improvement opportunities?

Waste data can help you identify which buildings, areas, or waste streams should be prioritised first. A good place to start is by looking for patterns that show where performance is lower or where general waste volumes are highest.

Focus on:

- **Low recycling rates**  
  May indicate poor sorting or unclear setup
- **High levels of general waste**  
  May show that recyclable waste is ending up in the wrong stream
- **High-volume waste streams**  
  These often offer the biggest opportunity for improvement
- **Differences between buildings or areas**  
  Large differences can help highlight where action is needed most

It is also useful to separate **quick wins** from **longer-term improvements**.

Quick wins may include:

- updating bin labels (e.g. by adding examples of what typical waste products go in that specific waste stream/bin)
- adjusting bin placement (e.g. by ensuring food waste is easily accessible by a kitchen/coffee machine)
- reviewing collection frequency (e.g. by checking whether certain bins often overfill before collection is due)

Longer-term improvements may include:

- redesigning sorting stations (e.g. by reviewing what typical waste streams are produced in the nearby area)
- improving tenant engagement (e.g. by ensuring they have access to Carrot for Tenants and by showcasing top performers at tenant meetings)
- changing the overall waste setup (e.g. removing smaller general waste bins across offices to motivate people to use a nearby sorting station)

If you manage multiple buildings, use the **Portfolio** view to compare performance. If you manage one building, use the **Home** view to look more closely at specific issues.
