1. Why Recycle at your Premises Recycling has been formally defined in the National Waste Management Strategy document as the separation at source of recyclable materials from the general waste stream and the reuse of these materials. The objectives of recycling are to save resources as well as reduce the environmental impact of waste by reducing the amount of waste disposed at landfills. Therefore, by recycling, we save our limited natural resources, we save our energy resources and we help combat global warming by reducing the amount of waste disposed of at landfills. According to a survey done in the United States, landfills are the largest human-caused producers of Methane, with Methane being a significant greenhouse gas. Methane has been found to be 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere. And because Methane has a relatively short lifespan of 9 to 15 years, reducing Methane emissions is expected to be an effective way to reduce climate warming in a relatively short period of time. 1 However, recycling does not just have an enormous impact on our environment, recycling also makes a significant difference to one s costs. Recycling will reduce your current general waste and hence reduce the costs charged by the Municipality for the disposal of this waste. Therefore, the potential cost outlay of setting up a recycling initiative can be offset by this saving in general waste cost. 2. About our Company Postwink Recycling Products distributes quality, yet practical, recycling products, in aim to promote a recycling culture and encourage separation of waste at source. Postwink s products make your recycling easy. Founded in 2007, our unique product range includes large igloo-type recycling bins ( recycling banks ), stainless steel recycling units, colour-coded wheelie bins and a range of fully recyclable recycling bins of various sizes. Hence, our products are suitable for recycling initiatives at large and small companies, hotels, convention centres, business centres, shopping centres and schools, as well as being ideal for public spaces. In order to have a range of products of high quality, Postwink has teamed up with reputable companies that manufacture some products specifically for us or for whom we are their sole distributors. In other words, the majority of our products are unique. Furthermore, all our products are manufactured in South Africa. We deliver nationwide and beyond our borders. However, Postwink is aware that transporting goods has a negative impact on the environment. This is why we support the tree planting programmes implemented by Food and Trees For Africa (FTFA) and hence, in the process, reduce our carbon footprint. We do this by allowing in all our prices a contribution amount to Food and Trees For Africa s Trees for All programme. Postwink is a Level-4 BEE contributor, and we are hence fully BBBEE compliant. Postwink is also 100% female owned. 1 Reference: www.climatescience.gov Page 3
3. Use of our s Our recycling bins can be used to collect some or all of the following materials: Glass Paper Plastic Tins and Cans Organic or Wet waste (such as collecting food waste and biodegradable packaging before it is composted our bins for these collections are labelled Food ) Non-Recyclables (such as general waste) Recyclables or Dry Waste (such a bin would collect all recyclable or dry waste, with the intention of your recycling collector sorting it into the various waste types for recycling.) 4. Servicing of the s Should you require assistance with servicing, we collaborate with various servicing companies who would ensure that you receive a comprehensive recycling package which includes both the recycling products and the servicing thereof. 5. Branding your s Please ask us about personalising your recycling bins with your corporate logo. We provide this service for you at a minimal rate. 6. Colours used for Separating the Waste There are currently no standard for colours used to differentiate the various recyclable waste. However, there are most used colours, which we adhere to. Hence, unless requested otherwise, we will use the following colours for your orders: Blue for Paper Green or Light Blue for Glass Yellow for Plastics Silver or Red for Cans, Tins and other Ferrous Metals Brown or Green for compostable and food waste Red for Hazardous waste Yellow, Grey or Black for Polystyrene Black for General, non-recyclable waste If there are only 2 levels of separation such as dry waste and wet waste, we use blue for the dry waste and green for the wet/food waste.
