Case study: TAFE NSW
If you ever experience a packaging dilemma like TAFE NSW, then our waste packaging service will be perfect for you.
TAFE NSW’s ICT department had a polystyrene foam backlog that was difficult to recycle. We suggested our waste packaging solution which allowed them to recycle more in a shorter time. TAFE would collect smaller pieces of packaging in bright orange bins before bagging and placing them in dedicated Cleanaway skips.
The larger pieces were placed directly into the skips to prevent the packaging from crumbling into pieces or being blown away in transit. Cleanaway collected this weekly, sorting and baling the materials at our Moorebank facility to be sold as a recyclable commodity.
We discovered that TAFE NSW could also recycle their pallet wrap and plastic strapping – further contributing to achieving their sustainability goals. Today, TAFE is looking to expand this project to other Metro campuses in TAFE NSW.
