“We’re proud of this significant achievement, which follows months of preparation and assessment, and demonstrates the high standards we have maintained over our 40 plus year history."

The newest member of the Cleanaway group, Grasshopper Environmental, has become the first construction and demolition waste management supplier company in New South Wales to be licensed by Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA).

Grasshopper joined its parent company in being licensed by GECA, Australia’s only independent not-for-profit advisory and ecolabelling program.

The company, which provides waste management services in the building, demolition and infrastructure, and commercial and industrial sectors in Sydney and nearby regions, has been certified by GECA for waste collection services for three years.

“The GECA ecolabel is an independent ‘tick’ that shows our service is better for the environment and has been ethically administered,” said Grasshopper Environmental Regional Manager Gavin Stewart.

“We’re proud of this significant achievement, which follows months of preparation and assessment, and demonstrates the high standards we have maintained over our 40 plus year history.”

“We’re committed to not only complying with environmental regulations but operating in a safe and ethical manner and exceeding the expectations of our customers.”

Cleanaway, which acquired Grasshopper Environmental last year, has been certified for the waste collection services it provides to the Barangaroo South Precinct property development in Sydney.

GECA CEO Michelle Thomas said: “We’re pleased to welcome another member of the Cleanaway group to the family of GECA licensees.”

“Grasshopper Environmental passed through a stringent assessment process and satisfied 25 criteria to achieve certification, which sets the benchmark for environmental services.”
