Sustainability in Action | Where Does Our Rubbish Really Go? ♻️
Our TPS team recently had the opportunity to visit Rubbish Direct's recycling depot in Glendene, West Auckland, to see firsthand what happens to our waste once it leaves our offices and warehouses.
The visit gave our team a behind-the-scenes look at the recycling process, from collection and hand-sorting through to how materials are recycled and turned into new products right here in New Zealand.
It was a great reminder of just how important our everyday waste management practices are. Something as simple as keeping recycling free from contamination and sorting waste correctly can make a real difference to what ends up being recycled rather than sent to landfill.
A big thank you to Mark, Shon and the Rubbish Direct team for welcoming us and taking the time to share their knowledge and expertise.
At TPS, we're always looking for ways to improve how we operate and reduce our environmental impact. Visits like these are a valuable opportunity for our team to learn, ask questions and bring practical ideas back into our workplaces.
Here are a few highlights from the visit!
