Tata Daewoo faced a challenge in effectively managing and
disposing of plastic waste, which posed environmental risks and
increased costs. The company recognized the need to enhance
its recycling efforts to minimize waste going to landfills and
align with the government's Net Zero objective.
Partnership
Tata Daewoo implemented a comprehensive plan to
improve the recycling of plastic waste throughout the
organization. They focused on collecting and processing
various types of plastic debris, including waste from
products, packaging, and office equipment. To achieve this,
the company partnered with a reputable waste recycling
business, Chang Baek Company, which employed
techniques like crushing and melting to recycle plastic
garbage.
Behavior change
The implementation process involved adopting appropriate
measures to enhance waste collection and separation
processes, ensuring proper sorting of waste, and raising
employee awareness about segregation and waste
management procedures. Tata Daewoo prioritized educating
its employees on the importance of recycling and waste
reduction.
The project yielded significant results, allowing Tata Daewoo to substantially decrease the amount of
plastic waste sent to landfills and incineration. Over the years, the company witnessed a positive trend
in waste plastic recovery - 4.9 tons in 2020, and a remarkable increase to 6 tons in 2022. Moreover, the
recycling efforts resulted in cost savings for Tata Daewoo. By avoiding expenses related to waste
treatment, the company saved KRW 6,650,000 during the fiscal year 2021-2022.
