9 case studies best-practice recycling solutions stakeholder engagement Context The hospitality and entertainment industry produces an incredible amount of waste. For Crown Perth, a largescale five-star resort on the banks of the Swan River, reducing its impact on the environment is a clear and crucial business goal. It aims to decrease its reliance on landfill, but without compromising the luxury and comfort its guests have come to expect. Crown Perth had a visionary outlook and a strong commitment to behavioural change, but needed a partner who could help it realise its vision and streamline its waste management processes resort-wide. It enlisted SUEZ s expert help in SUEZ Solution Over almost seven years, SUEZ has worked closely with Crown Perth to ensure best practice waste management across the entire precinct. As part of a full-service resource recovery, recycling and waste management program, SUEZ provides custom-made source separation bins for food waste, general waste, co-mingled recycling, cardboard and paper.
