Featured Projects

Perth Airport, Perth WA
Project Brief:
Review waste management systems to measure the baseline waste and recycling performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
Encycle Solution:
Provide detailed waste audit findings and propose policy-related solutions. This project involved data analysis for each material stream, stakeholder interviews and sourcing of information from various service providers. This detailed information was used to develop a clearer picture of what was happening across the estate and provided a basis for recommendations about how to reduce waste, improve recycling rates, identify synergies and streamline waste services.
