At TOMRA Cleanaway, we believe our team are the key to the delivery of a world-class container deposit scheme. As the network operator for the NSW Return and Earn container deposit scheme, we play a pivotal role in ensuring the scheme’s success through high levels of customer participation and engagement achieved through our committed staff delivering excellence.
Each year, we focus on recognising the unique individual contributions our staff members make to the network operation for Return and Earn, and we celebrate our collective achievement through the annual ‘TOMRA Cleanaway Awards’.
The TOMRA Cleanaway awards began in 2018 and have since become an annual event enjoyed by all. Our Staff Awards acknowledge those team members that colleagues, and management, have singled out for delivering excellence. In 2022, the nomination period commenced in October and concluded in late November. Peer nominations were anonymous, and individuals were identified for business-wide recognised service excellence. Over and above this internal recognition, the team members are acknowledged for delivering a level of excellence that has a positive influence on the community that relies on TOMRA Cleanaway’s services through Return and Earn.
