Green Practices Guideline for Livestock Sector

The scope for Waste in the Livestock sector includes three sub-indicators: Wastewater, Non-hazardous and Hazardous waste. SUB-INDICATOR REQUIREMENT OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE FOR ASSESSMENT EXAMPLE GREEN PRACTICES WASTEWATER • Targeted percentage of water recycling achieved by the organisation • Targeted percentage of wastewater sludge recovery achieved by the organisation Records on monitoring effluent discharge flow, recycling flow, and sludge recovered • Use effective microorganisms (EM) in water treatment ponds to enhance denaturation. • Monitor and increase the production of recovered water for internal use. Utilise sludge as fertiliser and monitor its application to prevent landfill disposal. NON-HAZARDOUS • Targeted percentage of non-hazardous waste recycled achieved by the organisation • Number of biogas capture facilities within the organisation • Records on monitoring non-hazardous waste generated and recycled in the organisation • Number of biogas facility • Use precision farming to minimise waste, optimise resource use, and increase productivity in livestock operations. Practice sustainable grazing and pasture management to preserve soil health, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. HAZARDOUS WASTE Targeted percentage of hazardous waste recycled achieved by the organisation Records on monitoring hazardous waste generated and recycled in the organisation • Implement an effective air filtering system to capture and remove toxic materials such as NH3, H2S gas, and dust. Prioritise the use of less hazardous chemical processes, such as phyto-based detergents and bio-based pesticides, whenever possible. 39 GREEN PRACTICES GUIDELINE FOR LIVESTOCK SECTOR
