We’re thrilled to announce that PICS Telecoms has once again secured the prestigious Valpak Zero Waste to Landfill certification for the year 2024. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to sustainable operations and solidifies its role as a responsible leader within the circular economy.
Zero Waste to Landfill
In response to growing environmental concerns, PICS Telecom has been striving to achieve waste reduction targets. Achieving the Zero Waste to Landfill status aligns PICS Telecom with both customer expectations and stringent environmental regulations.
This certification ensures that all materials processed through PICS’ UK facility are repurposed, recycled, or responsibly disposed of, reflecting the company’s commitment to minimal environmental impact.
The journey to Zero Waste to Landfill certification involved rigorous collaboration with Valpak over several years. PICS Telecom’s EMEA Recycling Manager Matthew Kellaway expressed the significance of this partnership:
“Over the past few years, PICS Telecom has strived to further our environmental initiatives to align with customer and legislative requirements. One of our ambitions was to ensure our UK facility sends zero waste to landfill.
We’ve collaborated with Valpak to validate our work and produce evidence of continual improvement. The guidance and audit have kept our recycling program accountable, ensuring everything from our facility is checked against downstream auditors and our internal processes. It’s been a positive experience that I would recommend to other companies.”
Valpak’s extensive audit process reviews every aspect of waste management, from downstream auditing to internal processes, guaranteeing that PICS Telecom’s operations maintain compliance and continually improve. This certification highlights PICS Telecom’s dedication to not only meeting but exceeding industry standards in waste reduction and sustainability.
For us, this Zero Waste to Landfill certification is an essential step in our mission to uphold the values of the circular economy, reducing waste and maximising resource value. As the company moves forward, we’ll continue to champion sustainable practices and contribute positively to environmental preservation.
