A dark blue infographic with the word "SUSTAINABLE" at the top, a recycling symbol in the center, and the words "ECONOMICAL," "ENVIRONMENTAL," and "OPERATIONAL" around the symbol, indicating the three pillars of sustainable waste management.

What Is Sustainable³

Waste Optima’s Sustainable³ framework is our approach to designing industrial recycling programs that are:

  • Economically viable

  • Operationally simple

  • Environmentally responsible

By focusing on these three pillars, we ensure that recycling initiatives deliver long‑term value, integrate seamlessly into your operations and contribute to a healthier planet.

Economically Sustainable Recycling

  • Evaluate waste hauling costs vs. recycling costs to ensure cost parity or savings.

  • Identify recyclable streams that can generate rebates or offset disposal fees.

  • Design programs that work within your budget without sacrificing sustainability.

Operationally Sustainable Recycling

  • Implement simple sorting protocols with clear signage to minimise training.

  • Place collection containers close to production areas to reduce movement and labour.

  • Provide consistent pickup schedules and support to keep your operations running smoothly.

Environmentally Sustainable by Design

  • Reduce landfill volumes by diverting as much material as possible.

  • Decrease your facility’s carbon footprint by recycling and reusing materials.

  • Support a circular economy by returning resources to the production cycle.
