Case Study: WRAP develops a cost benefit analysis tool with Anthesis

WRAP develops a user-friendly CBA tool with Anthesis

Anthesis developed a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) tool for WRAP to address the challenge of helping local authorities and anaerobic digestion plant operators evaluate low-cost interventions for increasing household food waste recycling. WRAP had proven that measures like bin stickers and information leaflets were effective but needed a way to model their financial viability under various local conditions and contract mechanisms.

The solution involved Anthesis liaising with local authorities and plant operators to gather insights before building the user-friendly tool. The resulting CBA tool generates bespoke assessments using local data and is available for download from WRAP's website. Anthesis ensured the tool's effectiveness by incorporating feedback from user testing, making it a practical resource for waste and resource recovery planning.
