For 'Two Star' accreditation, business must meet all of the One Star requirements, plus a minimum number of non-legislative practices (eg, recycling of wastes, using less toxic chemicals, having emergency spill kits on premises, and using more efficient systems that minimise resource use). The top level of accreditation, 'Three Star', is for business that achieve the Two Star requirements and have an environmental management plan that will help monitor current practices and set objectives or targets for further improvement. 2.
