An extensive program of waste composition assessments undertaken by EnviroCom on behalf of the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) was the catalyst for ongoing engagement with this prestigious tertiary institution. EnviroCom was subsequently commissioned by QUT to facilitate the development of a Waste Management Plan (WMP) undertaking liaison and consultation with all relevant stakeholders, including facilities management (sustainability manager and officers plus finance controllers), departmental representatives and waste contractors. EnviroCom was further commissioned to contribute to the development and review of the WMP.
