Recycling for life
Years of experience, gained by serving companies together with local authorities, have increased SITA's knowledge and expertise in many different aspects of waste management.
SITA Polska has been on the Polish market since 1987 and is a subsidiary of the French-based SITA Group. Now, it has 2,700 employees and a fleet of 800 vehicles. "We're a company that has based its growth on a clearly stated determination to meet environmental responsibilities. Our mission is to satisfy our customers' needs by providing innovative and cost-effective waste management solutions. While protecting the environment, we also promote a spirit of partnership with the communities and enterprises that we serve," says Krzysztof Majewski, the Director responsible for promoting sustainable waste management in Warsaw.
The company delivers a wide variety of resource and waste management services; over 2.5 million residents and more than 3,000 business customers benefit from SITA's knowledge and experience. Mr. Majewski says that, "We realize that each client is unique, and customers such as municipalities have very different needs when compared with private sector clients, both commercial and industrial. Thus, the company is developing tailor-made solutions for every one of them."
SITA Polska offers a comprehensive range of services that enables it to provide 'cradle to grave' environmental waste management solutions. The company assists its customers in terms of transport, equipment, disposal, consultancy and knowledge. The portfolio of activities of the company has expanded to include refuse collection, recycling, street cleansing, landfill operations, material recycling facility operations, composting and developing energy from waste. SITA Polska manages all forms of waste: solid (general, industrial, construction, domestic), hazardous, landfill and liquid, as well as with security disposal, product destruction, builders bins and temporary bins.
Realizing the benefits of environmentally sustainable practice, the company collects and processes waste to make the most of these resources. SITA Poland perceives waste materials as a resource and recycles them. Recycling ensures an environmentally sustainable future for generations to come and saves primary material extracted from the earth in enormous quantities. The goal of the company is to make the process of recycling blend effortlessly into the flow of everyday life, so that it is as natural as breathing.
In order to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels, SITA Polska uses waste to produce alternative fuel, which is later used in cement plants. Energy from Waste (EfW) incineration provides numerous environmental benefits. It significantly reduces the volume of waste, and 'green' metals recovered before or following combustion can be easily recycled and decrease the Polish reliance on landfill for waste disposal. Additionally, by operating composting facilities and processing green waste, the company converts waste into a product useful for gardening, landscaping, or houseplants. Composting saves energy, reduces air and water pollution as well as provides a way of reducing the volume of waste that needs to be disposed of or stored in landfills.
By being active every day on the streets of Poland, the company has become an established part of the community and a familiar face in the area of public services. The business focuses on one of the essential aspects of life in any society - cleanliness. It requires flawless professionalism and offers a service that is 100 percent reliable. "The street cleaning service aims to meet the needs and aspirations of city residents, in terms of health, safety and welfare," says Mr. Majewski.
The company also puts great emphasis on designing, developing and managing urban green spaces since they influence the quality of local environments. The quality of urban green spaces is a key factor in making cities attractive places to live in. SITA Polska believes that green areas play an important role in improving the 'liveability' of cities and transforming their characters.
Furthermore, SITA Polska takes pride in promoting, sponsoring and implementing environmental systems of education. "We raise environmental awareness amongst employees and city inhabitants. We increase the control over environmental impacts and ensure compliance with relevant legislation," says Mr. Majewski. By taking appropriate measures, the company actively encourages citizens to follow in the company's footsteps to consciously shape the future of the Earth.
The company has the environment at their core and certifies the highest standards in waste management. In every service, it is guided by the international ISO 9001 Quality Management and ISO 1401 Environmental Management standards. With the ISO systems the standard has been set - with SITA Polska the standard has been met.
SITA believes that respect for the environment means a lasting improvement to the quality of life. With SITA Polska's far-reaching waste coverage and its availability to resources and technology, the decision for the customer is made easy. As Mr. Majewski says: "SITA helps you to safeguard your future."
