KZN recognised for more sustainable future

KZN recognised for more sustainable future

Date: 2018-11-23

Organisations in KZN had the opportunity to be acknowledged for effective and efficient waste management practices at the IWMSA KZN Waste Management Awards 2018. After a rigorous judging process, including site visits and audits, the winners were honoured for their positive contributions to the waste industry.

Unilever Indonsa (large general manufacturing category), CHEP Cornubia (smaller general manufacturing category), and T & T Bed and Breakfast (service industry category) walked away with top honours at the prestigious awards.

"The biennial IWMSA KZN Waste Management Awards were established in 1992 and recognises the top organisations in the province that actively promote and incorporate best practices in waste management toward a greener and more sustainable future," says Lindsay Strachan Chairperson of the IWMSA's KZN Branch. "From the entries it is evident that are becoming more geared toward environmental sustainability, and all the organisations who participated showcased initiatives toward reducing energy, water usage, and waste generation," Strachan continues.

"For us sustainability is a way of life. We entered the Waste Management Awards just to showcase what a bed and breakfast can do. Being a small business we were delighted to be on the judging list and to actually win this event in our category has been absolutely incredible. I'd like to thank the IWMSA for this great honour and just a word of advice to everybody, our slogan for sustainability is "Every little bit helps. If we can do it so can everyone else," says Tracy Phillips from T&T Bed and Breakfast.

"We applaud this year's winners for the strides their making toward incorporating responsible waste management practices in their business operations," says Leon Grobbelaar president of the IWMSA.
