Managing space

Regardless of the size of your space, you need to make sure you organise your activities and have space to grow. Read how we make the best use of our space at The Flipflopi Project.

Health and safety

Health and safety is always the number 1 priority. Running safe operations is everyone’s responsibility. Be aware of the potential hazards and put a strong plan in place to manage your risks.

Appropriate PPE is essential

Human resources

Understand the different skillsets you will need, build your team, and make sure you have the necessary documentation and procedures in place to keep your operations running smoothly.

Data and accounting

The importance of good record keeping and data management cannot be overstated. A strong dataset can help you identify where you can improve, and can enable you to access grant funding and plastic credits.

Recovery economics

Understand all your costs and how to reduce your outgoings. Then work out how to maximise your income. Achieving a healthy balance between costs and revenue is key to a sustainable operation.
