Sustainability management
Boosting recycling performance through smarter waste management
Orchard Street
The Orchard Street’s portfolio had an average recycling rate of 52%, below its 62% target. Poor on-site waste segregation meant recyclable materials were diverted to general waste streams, increasing incineration levels and limiting sustainability performance.
The MAPP approach
MAPP partnered with a specialist waste broker to implement a revised waste management strategy. This included detailed site audits, introduction of new recycling streams, updated signage, stakeholder training and ongoing communications to reinforce correct waste segregation practices.
The impact
The initiative achieved an 18% uplift, raising the recycling rate to 70% across the portfolio. Continued monitoring, reporting and stakeholder engagement have helped sustain this improved environmental performance.
Increased portfolio-wide recycling rates from 52% to 70%, exceeding sustainability targets and embedding long-term behavioural change.
