Understanding the waste management challenges in transport and logistics
Transport and logistics operations generate waste across depots, warehouses, distribution centres, and maintenance facilities. Waste streams can include general waste, packaging, recyclables, liquids, and regulated materials generated through vehicle servicing and daily operations.
These environments operate to tight schedules that rely on minimal disruption. Waste services must be reliable, responsive, and aligned to shift patterns, while supporting safety, compliance, and uninterrupted movement of goods and services.
Cleanaway works with transport and logistics providers to deliver practical waste and resource recovery solutions that support operational efficiency and network reliability.
