The T R I Group

The T R I Group approached our Zero Waste to Landfill Team for help to achieve its Zero Waste to Landfill goal and to obtain third-party verification and certification.

We visited all five T R I Group sites to verify their achievement of Zero Waste to Landfill Certification and to offer tailored recommendations for ongoing improvement at each location.

By implementing some of our recommendations, alongside continuous efforts to enhance processes, T R I Group has achieved significant improvements to waste management practices, demonstrating a clear commitment to sustainability.

Valpak’s Zero Waste to Landfill certification has helped the Group to:

• Make waste hierarchy improvements: Despite some challenges, such as material quality and contamination, all sites showcased improvements by moving waste up the hierarchy, maximising reuse and recycling.
• Ensure compliance and efficiency: By implementing some of Valpak’s recommendations T R I Group has ensured compliance with waste management regulations and enhanced its operational efficiency.
• Reduce costs and generate revenue: Through segregation of recyclable materials and implementing recycling programmes, T R I has generated income streams and reduced its waste management costs.
• Become a preferred provider: Certification has been the driver for numerous UK wide charities to work with T R I Group to process their textiles.

The T R I Group can now proudly communicate its achievement to stakeholders by displaying Valpak’s Zero Waste to Landfill certification logo on its website and other marketing materials. As it continues this path T R I Group sets a respectable example for sustainable waste management practices in the textile recycling industry.
