Our promise
Our sustainability pillars
Recovering resources
We play a vital role in enabling Australia’s circular economy, working with our partners to ensure valuable resources are recovered from waste streams and returned to the value chain.
Protecting the environment
As a total waste solutions provider, we prioritise resource reuse, recycling, and recovery wherever possible. When these options are not feasible, we offer safe and responsible, at-scale treatment and disposal solutions.
Reducing emissions
The goal of net zero compels us all to take action to reduce the impacts of climate change. Cleanaway is committed to reducing our emissions and helping our customers do the same.
Working together
To deliver on our mission requires the co-ordinated effort and hard work of our people, suppliers and communities. Together, we fulfil our purpose of making a sustainable future possible together.
