Waste Reduction and Management Policy
At Nikau, we have long been dedicated to implementing a comprehensive waste reduction and management policy across all our sites. Recognising the significant increase in waste materials and corresponding disposal costs, we strive to minimise waste generation and maximise recovery. Our objective is to salvage a minimum of 90% of materials from demolished structures, a target we consistently achieve through the use of advanced technology and dedicated personnel.
Advanced Waste Management Practices
To meet our waste reduction goals, we employ a range of specialist plant and equipment, including:
- Rotational Shears: For precise and efficient cutting of metals and other materials.
- Timber Machining & Recycling Facilities: To process and repurpose timber waste.
- Onsite and Offsite Recycling Plants: For comprehensive recycling and recovery of various materials.
Our commitment to achieving these targets is supported by specialised training programs and incentive-based systems for our personnel.
