One of the actions that outline in Pryda for the Planet is to celebrate and promote businesses going above and beyond in the pursuit of more sustainable practices.
In this episode of the Pryda Pod, we were joined by MB PreFab Big River Group’s HR & WHSE Site Manager John Recourt and Russell Norton from the Mulch Centre
MB PreFab is on a mission to eliminate waste from the fabrication process and find sustainable alternatives to disposing of timber off-cuts, plastics, metals, cardboard, paper, printer cartridges and more. The company is achieving some fantastic results and they’re on target to reduce their landfill impact by 95%.
Reducing the environmental footprint is just the start. These initiatives are also supporting local businesses, empowering their employees to take ownership of waste management processes, and having a positive impact on the bottom line with an estimated cost saving of $65k AUD per annum.
MB PreFab is also working with local organisations like the Mulch Centre and achieving some phenomenal results. The latter reuses green waste from landfill and transforms it into mulch and compost. It has become one of the leading suppliers of garden and landscaping materials in Geelong, Victoria.
