Clean Business Challenge

The Clean Business Challenge recognizes that there are important advantages to be gained by industry being seen to 'Do the Right Thing' in relation to the environment. The Challenge is a public recognition program aimed at providing a reward to businesses that practice responsible waste management. Qualifying businesses must be able to demonstrate their commitment to a recognised program of continuous improvement with respect to their waste management practices. A simple and flexible certification process has been developed, to include small and large businesses. Free promotion is provided to qualifying businesses by way of a certificate, and local advertising by the SWSA. If your business is already a responsible waste manager, check How do I Take up the Challenge? right away.

The Challenge is supported by comprehensive guidance on this website, to help you to develop a business waste management program. If your business is not yet ready for the Challenge, start the process today by visiting Why Develop a Program?. As part of its continuing non-municipal waste program, the SWSA also produces a range of waste management brochures and supports relevant seminars and conferences within Tasmania.

"We are challenging businesses to ask whether they are doing the right thing; we are challenging employees to make that bit of extra effort; and we are challenging the waste management industry to provide the services required."
