Homeowners Insurance for Your Home Protection

0

The real estate sector is blossoming once again thanks to the post-covid economic upswing. First-time homebuyers are making important decisions regarding their properties. If you are one of them then you must have come across terms such as homeowners insurance. 

Homeowners insurance is a prerequisite to apply for a mortgage loan. The insurance can be provided by the lending bank or you can pick a plan of your choice by comparing the different options available. Payments of the homeowner’s insurance are generally included in the monthly mortgage payment. 

You will find a brief explanation of homeowners insurance in this article:

Homeowners Insurance Basic Working

In case of an accident on the insured property, the owner will file a claim with the insurance company. The insurance company will then estimate the cost of damage and inform the owner about the deductible. The excess amount is paid by the insurance company.

A deductible is an out-of-pocket cost paid by the insured, it makes up a certain percentage of the total cost. It depends upon the policy agreement between you and your insurance company. The lower the percentage of deductible the more will be the insurance premium on your policy. 

Liability limit is the amount of coverage offered by the insurance policy. The standard limit is around $100000 but the owner can opt for a higher limit. The liability limit specifies the percentage of coverage amount issued for each expense incurred due to the accident. The expenses include the cost of damage repair of property, the cost of repair/replacement of personal belongings, and the cost of living somewhere else while repairs take place.

The insurance will not cover damage due to natural disasters or damages due to war such as earthquakes and floods. You will need to get earthquake or flood-specific coverage for that. 

What is the difference between Homeowners Insurance and Home Protection Plan/Home Warranty?

Homeowners insurance and home protection plans/ home warranty are two completely different things. Home protection plan provides warranty for home systems and appliances. 

Homeowners insurance will cover four kinds of incidents, the damage to the exterior of the property, the damage to the interior, the loss/ or damage of assets inside the property, and any kind of injury occurring in the premises. On the other hand, the home protection plans provide coverage for the repairs and replacement of appliances or machinery in the home. 

The home warranty has a specific tenure after which it expires. It will cover the replacement or repair that occurs from normal wear and tear. It will also cover issues due to poor maintenance by the user. Homeowners’ insurance does not cover these. 

How you should make your decision

Homeowners insurance is an important aspect of your property deal. You need to make sure that you go through all the options available on the market before you finalize a policy. You can get homeowners insurance quotes from insurance agencies. Insurance agencies are offering tailor-made solutions for your needs. They will also help you save on insurance costs and their agents will get you the best possible deal.

Things to consider when investing in a summer house

If your home is always full of people, having a summer house in the countryside could be a haven for all of your family and friends. You can use it in a variety of ways, depending on your needs and preferences.

For example, it can serve as a valuable investment, since you can rent it out and receive a constant additional income. Investing in a private house will pay off less than in a decade. You can even buy an old summer house and repair or modernize it, but this option would be worth it rather for experienced in building and its management people. If you are one of them, buy building materials and turn an unfinished house into a real masterpiece of architecture. A finished summer house can be sold out again to the higher bidder or rented out.

Summer houses that are located at the outskirts of a huge city are particularly popular among property investors. Buying a summer house is not new, but an undoubtedly profitable type of investment that can not only preserve but also increase your capital. The high profitability is explained by the relatively high demand for housing in the suburbs. Residents of large cities are often not satisfied with their surroundings and the lack of personal space. That’s why suburban getaways for weekends will keep being popular and permanent residence in the suburbs too. After all, not only retirees move outside the city, but also young families.

To build or not to build        

When looking to invest in a summer house, there are several options to consider, including exploring land for sale in Townsville. If you have building experience, one viable option is to take on the project of building a summer house with your own hands. This allows for customization and a hands-on approach in creating the perfect retreat that suits your preferences and needs.

This will, of course, save you a lot of costs. Otherwise, you can hire a construction company and have the house built by your design. However, you should take into account that the contractor you are working with should get along well with house connections because their separate integration would extremely increase the total price of the building.

Alternatively, you can buy a prefabricated summer house kit. Such build-yourself kits are easier to bring together. This is more advantageous compared to a time-consuming building from scratch in several phases. An additional advantage of prefabricated kits is that the manufacturer gives a guarantee for fixing any problems resolved within and after the construction.

Choosing material: wood or brick

When planning an investment property, you need to analyze which material would be more advantageous and profitable: brick – durable, solid, but expensive and time-consuming to build; or wood – warm, with a beautiful rustic look, quick to build, and costs less.

A summer house made out of wood is definitely better to rent out since wood is one of the materials most associated with holidays, fun and relaxation.

Apart from its appealing look, wood is a natural insulator and thermoregulator. It can regulate the temperature and humidity and, thus, improve the indoor climate of your house. In addition, wood is a renewable and sustainable material. That is why the manufacturers of wooden summer houses leave significantly less CO2 emissions compared to the ones that use other materials.

Moreover, a wooden summer house can be built in a few months, and there is a good demand for it in the market. No wonder, many people are interested in such environmentally friendly and inexpensive real estate.

Planning the design, decoration and outbuildings

Even if your plan is building a summer house yourself or letting the contractors build it by your design, you should probably throw a glance at the online portfolios of professional manufacturers to get some inspiration and design ideas.

No matter whether you build or buy a house, you should prefer a practical and interesting design with high functionality. These features of a modern summer house many potential buyers and renters will find beneficial.

Additional buildings can also increase the comfort and price of your summer house. For example, a summer house with a terrace or pavilion can become a popular place to grill with the family. A sauna can become a meetup point for your family and friends every weekend, which can become a nice tradition. A garage or carport is also a must-have for a summer house, since no matter whether you will stay there for a weekend or the whole summer you should take care of your car. If you plan to have guests often, a double garage or carport would become a perfect solution.

Making adjustments and taking care of the building

         You should note that along with its numerous advantages, wood, being a porous, organic material, is susceptible to insects and fungi. In addition, wood changes, it can shrink and swell, depending on the humidity and the season. Natural swelling of the wood during the winter months can largely be avoided by treating it with a moisture-resistant stain or sealant and by constructing and insulating the house correctly. The use of wood preservatives against wood-destroying insects and antiseptic impregnation of the wood against fungi during the construction should not be neglected as well.

Moreover, you should be ready to make some adjustments over time, for example, there will appear gaps above your doors and windows in about a year. This is normal for wooden houses, since hot weather dries out moisture from the logs, causing the wood to shrink and develop gaps between the logs. Settlement of wooden houses is an inevitable process, but if you handle wood properly during construction, the complicated adjustments should rarely be necessary.

Thus, the windows and doors should be sealed from the outside and inside and the gaps should be sealed with flexible insulation material, such as wood wool. Repeat this every 5 years to compensate for the changes caused by the settlement of the wood.

As you see, like with any other type of construction, there are many aspects to consider when building or buying a summer house. But the purchase will definitely pay off, no matter whether you are going to use it as a holiday house for weekend getaways, rent it out or sell it.

Three Multi-Nationals Founded in the 19th Century still roaring today

0

Navigating two World Wars and a continent under rapid change up until the new millennium, European multi-national companies have arguably had it harder to survive than their North American equivalents. Those that have persisted are defined by leadership that stayed ahead of the curve, seeking opportunities that few others have been so quick to capitalize on. But innovation can only go so far in success as a multi-national; people must see the brand’s commitment to upholding the values they believe in.  

As Henry Mintzburg said, “Corporations are social institutions. If they don’t serve society, they have no business existing.”

For any global company, finding the right balance between profit maximisation for shareholders and maintaining close bonds with their consumer base is difficult to achieve. These three multi-nationals have lasted the test of time across three centuries because of how they serve both the local and global communities they operate in. 

A brand defined by extraordinary events, charismatic characters, and of course, its cars, Fiat celebrated its first 120 years in 2019 with plans to grow. In 1899, a group of Italian businessmen and professionals from Turin joined forces to realize a mutual dream: an Italian automobile factory that could offer “democratic mobility.” The same year, the first Fiat model was put into production.

Over the next century, Fiat continued to expand production across Europe, dominating Eurasian and North American markets even amid the World Wars. But it was under the leadership of former CEO Sergio Marchionne that Fiat was cemented as a global leader in car manufacturing. With a leadership style bridging the personality of the Agnelli family, the genius and design vision of Dante Giacosa and the administrative foresight of Vittorio Valletta, Marchionne took the Italian manufacturer from the brink of bankruptcy to the New York Stock Exchange, after buying out the Detroit carmaker, Chrysler.

During his tenure at Fiat, Marchionne boosted the company’s value more than a tenfold by restructuring the auto business and separating assets. Among the biggest spinoffs was the 2015 listing of supercar-maker Ferrari NV, where Marchionne also served as CEO and chairman. The self-described “corporate fixer” also oversaw the Centro Ricerche Fiat in international research projects on green energy innovations such as the use of recycled materials and biomaterials. One such initiative was the Forbioplast project, which evaluated forest resources for plastic production in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

Perhaps one such forest scouted for the project was the 1000 hectares of sustainable forests in Scotland tended to by the Kronospan Forestry Ltd, a subsidiary of Kronospan, the leading wood-based panel manufacturer. Established in 1897 as a small family-run timber business, the Austrian-based multinational has developed a supply chain with over 40 production sites and 16 distribution centres in 30 countries.

Under Kronospan’s owner and CEO Peter Kaindl, the company has harnessed the potential of the integrated Single Market to both consolidate its strength in its native industry while diversifying itself beyond the primary sector. While most manufacturers were fearful of the risk of expanding outside Westen Europe at the end of the last century, Peter Kaindl pushed Kronospan towards owning dozens of wood-based panel manufacturing sites across what was to become the EU, including Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary.

His hands-on approach enabled him to expand Kronospan’s small Austrian and Western European base of his father’s tenure into an international conglomerate with manufacturing centres across Europe – as well as plants and branches in the US – with billions of euros in annual revenue. But Kronospan has set itself apart from the rest of the timber industry as it has placed sustainability at its core of its operating model. In 1999 the company joined the Forest Stewardship Council scheme, which ensures that sustainable practices are used.

In 2003, Kronospan was one of the first organisations to sign up with the Carbon Trust in Wales for a pilot programme to manage carbon emissions. Kronospan also works with Business in the Community Wales which aims to address key social issues in the most deprived rural and urban areas of Wales, where its first international plant was established and has operated in the region for over 50 years.

A commitment to the local community that helped an industry prosper is also shared by Neuhaus, the Belgian chocolatier. Swiss pharmacist, Jean Neuhaus, established his first boutique in Brussels in 1857 after his trademark chocolate-covered medicine catapulted him into fame. Today, the building still houses the global production of its famous Belgian praline, as invented by his grandson. Today, CEO Ignace Van Doorselaere works closely with the family to continue their vision of selling 2,400 tons of ‘honest chocolate’ to over 50 countries.

Neuhaus has been endowed with a Royal Warrant Holder Seal by the King and Queen of Belgium in recognition of its service to both protecting Belgium artistry and working towards environmental sustainability. 100 per cent of Neuhaus chocolate is UTZ certified, the largest program for sustainable farming of cocoa in the world.Under Van Doorselaere’s oversight, from 2025 onwards, their entire cacao production will be 100% traceable and will meet the living and deforestation standards.

Like Fiat and Kronospan, Neuhaus has persisted as global bastions of a uniquely European artisanship—to do one thing, and do it well. But the leadership of all made important strategic decisions at key junctions in their journeys to remain viable and profitable to this day. The marriage of three centuries of good governance and commitment to sustainability – or as Kronospan’s Peter Kaindl might say, the ability to see the forest from the trees – is what separates these three multinationals from the rest.

Rato Does Not Pay The Bail Of 65 Million Euros

0

Rato does not pay the bail of 65 million euros and the judge maintains the seizure of assets. The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office claims 70 years in prison for Rato.

The head of the Court of Instruction number 31 of Madrid, Antonio Serrano-Arnal, has agreed to maintain the seizure of assets to the former Minister of Economy Rodrigo Rato for not paying the 65.1 million bond set in the indictment in which Sends him to the bench for crimes against the Public Treasury, money laundering and corruption in business, within the framework of the case on the alleged illicit origin of his assets.

Sources consulted have confirmed that the former minister has not paid the bond imposed by the judge to “ensure the pecuniary responsibilities” that could be imposed on the former minister in sentence and that – as the magistrate advised in his car – by not providing the money in the foreseen term “assets will be seized in sufficient quantity to ensure the indicated sum.”

The same sources have recalled that the judge had already set an asset seizure for Rato in 2015 as a result of a complaint filed by the State Tax Administration Agency. At that time, the sum seized reached 18 million euros and included even the pension of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that he receives in his capacity as former director of the institution.

Thus, the head of the court will maintain the preventive embargo until a final judgment is issued by a court, which will set the final figure -which may be higher or lower-.

Personal notification
Rato went last Friday to the courts of Plaza de Castilla, in Madrid, to personally receive the notification of the judge’s prosecution, a formality “given the nature of the sentence requested” by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, which claims for him 70 years in prison .

The former minister regretted on his departure from court – in statements to the press – that “none” of the three main crimes for which he was arrested in 2015 appear in the car in which he is sent to trial.

In addition, he alleged that the tax crimes for which he is now accused “all refer to professional work through companies”, which he considers a “usual practice” by which “very important people such as former presidents of the Government have never been brought in. by criminal means but by administrative means “.

8.5 million euros defrauded
The investigation led by the investigating judge concludes that Rato has maintained since 1999 a hidden patrimony to the Public Treasury through various companies with which he would have carried out continuous financial investment activities through bank accounts in the Bahamas, Switzerland, Monaco, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom. , among other places.

The investigations have identified unjustified increases in Rato’s equity between 2005 and 2015 for a total amount of 15.6 million euros, in addition to returns from movable capital abroad that were not declared to the Public Treasury either. The defrauded quotas would amount to 8.5 million in those fiscal years.

The Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office initially asks for 70 years in prison for Rato, but it will have to adjust its request at the end of the oral hearing since the former minister will not be tried for crimes of punishable insolvency and documentary falsification.

12 Ways to Increase Your Online Sales

0

Every business wants to increase its online sales. Whether you have a small online electronics store or a giant like Amazon, increasing your sales through the possibilities offered by the internet is what you are most interested in. The good news is that there are dozens of ways you can stand out from the crowd and gain more traffic and more sales. Below, you will find some specific strategies that you can apply to increase your online sales.

Impress new customers with an excellent follow-up email

Unfortunately, for many businesses, the customer experience ends as soon as they have the customer’s money in their hands. This is a big mistake if you want this customer to buy from you again unless you offer them free products or Free Bets so that they might come back. To increase your online sales volume, make sure you follow a careful, polite, and helpful follow-up process for new customers. When someone makes an online purchase, he especially appreciates receiving an email that contains all the information about the market, including tracking code, customer service information, links to related products.

Therefore, it’s important that you don’t forget your customers as soon as they give you their credit card information. On the contrary, the more attention you give them after a purchase, the more likely they are to become loyal customers who talk to their friends about how good you are.

Take advantage of Remarketing

Whether you are running a PPC (Pay Per Click) campaign or a Facebook ad, if you don’t take advantage of remarketing, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to win over those who saw your business but didn’t immediately make a purchase from you, something very common in the world of E-commerce.

Remarketing is one of the most effective solutions in increasing online sales. Not only does it keep your brand in the minds of prospective customers, thus increasing your recognition, but it also greatly increases your chances of winning a sale as it targets people who have already made up their minds to buy something from you.

Use Ad Extensions in your ads

AdWords ads allow you to use Ad Extensions, which make your ads bigger, with more points to click, with a higher CTR (click-through-rate), and at no extra cost.

Create a sense of urgency

It’s certainly essential to be honest with your audience about who you are and what you do, but no one stops you from creating a sense of urgency in your users by convincing them to buy from you right away.

Special offers and limited edition products attract the interest of consumers and create a feeling of urgency. You can also offer a financial incentive to customers who respond directly to your ads, such as free shipping or a discount.

 Give fewer options

Many people believe that the more products you have, the more sales you will have, which is not always the truth. In many cases, a wide range of options can, on the contrary, lead to indecision, which in turn can mean lost sales.

If you have a wide range of products, consider building your website to give visitors limited options every time. You can, for example, increase your categories so that each category includes fewer products, or you can focus on fewer products and display them individually.

Reduce Checkout Losses

Take out unnecessary steps in the checkout, skip junk fields on forms, provide plenty of payment options, and allow users to complete a purchase without registering a new user. 

Communicate with your customers on social media

Social media is offered for precisely what its name implies: socialization. If you use social media just to promote your products, you may be misusing it. Sooner or later, you will tire your users, and they will consider your page spam. On the contrary, you can gain brand awareness, engagement, customer satisfaction, and sales if you use social media to develop relationships with your customers. Personally address your customers, answer their questions and give them the attention they need in order to gain their trust.

Invest in quality product photos

Research has proved that a well-looking dish actually tastes better than bad-looking food. The fact that what looks good or bad matters to people is one reason to invest in good product photos.

No matter what you sell, your photos should be attractive and of good resolution, as well as present as many photos per product as possible. Try not to miss anything as you place photos of products from every angle. Since they don’t have the opportunity to try the products before they purchase them, think about how important it is for your online customers to have the best possible picture of the products they’re interested in.

Give Gmail Ads a chance

 Gmail ads are a way to get into your users’ inbox without knowing their email. One of the most effective ways to do this is by targeting competitors’ keywords. People who are in the market and interested in your competitors are already receiving emails that mention keywords that have to do with their brand. By targeting these keywords, you may be able to change their mind.

Find out where they came from (the clientele)

 Studying your statistics is something that can only do you good. We aren’t saying to make a living from analytics, but knowing at all times which are the biggest sources of traffic is essential. You may even be surprised by some statistics. For example, an organic search may not be your top sales channel, but people who find you through organic search and then see an ad on Facebook may be your number one customer. Doing so could increase your Facebook remarketing budget.

BBVA Reinforces Its Workforce Abroad In The Middle Of ERE In Spain

0

BBVA intends to reinforce its workforce in some foreign divisions, which is why in the last month it has taken out almost 500 job offers in the United States, Mexico and Colombia. In addition, to these we would have to add almost another hundred, mainly in Peru.

This search for workers takes place in the middle of the negotiation and the beginning of the adhesion of the ERE that will be launched in Spain with the aim of reducing operating costs and adapting to the digital environment. This adjustment, which will cost 960 million euros, will mean the departure of 2,725 employees from the entity in our country , including 210 incentive leave for at least three years.

The reinforcement of personnel in the international subsidiaries does not include Turkey , one of the four main markets in which the group chaired by Carlos Torres operates. Of the total number of vacancies, the US stands out , where it intends to boost the banking business for companies and capital markets after having disposed of the retail activity for 9,600 million with a new action plan .

In North America it intends to hire 206 people. The bank indicates that a part of these new positions correspond to the subsidiary sold and that, therefore, they are transferred to the buyer, PNC.

Also noteworthy is the number of job offers it has launched in Mexico , its greatest source of benefits and engine of the entity. In the Aztec market, BBVA will give 153 people an opportunity.

In Colombia , despite the difficulties the country is going through, the Spanish group also aspires to improve its position and will incorporate at least 139 new employees to its ranks.

Peru , China , Indonesia , Argentina or Venezuela are also on the list of states where BBVA is looking for staff. Most of the positions are focused on the commercial network and new technologies, in addition to savings advice, three key matters for the group’s profitability to increase, while Spain achieves the savings of 250 million prefixed with the ERE that it will carry out .

Profitability and capital
In fact, bank sources argue that the cost of capital in each country is different and that in Spain it is essential to reduce operating expenses to achieve profitability due to negative interest rates, hence “it is necessary to look for talent in other geographies to fill specific positions “. They also point out that each market is different and that in some countries there is a higher voluntary job rotation, which requires greater coverage for vacancies.

The dismissals in Spain will be assumed with the money it has reaped with the divestment in the US, an operation that will allow it not only to carry out the promised share buyback of 10% of the capital , but also to analyze acquisitions in strategic markets.

Vik Bansal’s Leadership Has Seen Cleanaway Invest in Infrastructure Across the Waste Value Chain

0

Nearly a billion tons of waste are disposed of improperly every year, and by 2050 without intervention the world is expected to generate 3.40 billion tons of waste annually, increasing drastically from today’s 2.01 billion tons. In Australia in particular, the latest National Waste Report shows that Australians are recycling 58% of waste generated, sending 37% of it to landfill and recovering only 2.8% though energy-from-waste technologies such as turning biogas from landfill and food waste into electricity. We are facing a reckoning with the way we manage our waste as we realize the way we have dealt with it in the past will be unsustainable in the future, and in order to combat this problem government, industry and citizens must all work together to change the way we view waste, comprehensively overhauling what is no longer working.

In 2019, the Australian government released a National Waste Policy Action Plan in which they set goals for the next decade. Seeking to strengthen their resource recovery industry which had been weakened by a reliance on exporting, they set a goal to ban the export of waste, plastic, paper, glass and tyres, in addition to other ambitious items on the agenda such as reducing total waste generated in Australia by 10% per person, increasing the use of recycled content by governments and industry, phasing out problematic and unnecessary plastics, halving the amount of organic waste sent to landfills and reaching a national resource recovery target of 80%. In order to meet these goals Australia needed their waste management industry to fall in line fully with the plan, but Vik Bansal, chief executive officer of Australia’s largest waste management company, was already one step ahead of them.

Vik Bansal’s Work at Cleanaway

In 2015 when Bansal became CEO of Cleanaway (then going by the name Transpacific), the company was fractured in its strategy, struggling under a heavy debt burden, and had gone through four CEOs in three years. Although the high management turnover and unhappy investors would have been a red flag for many, Bansal believed that the core of the business and the people who worked there meant it had unlimited potential. He came into the company with the intention of giving it a comprehensive overhaul, starting with the development of an operating model that would serve as a solid foundation on which growth could thrive. He corrected courses on the company’s overall strategy, technical challenges, and the behaviour and engagement of the leadership teams, allowing him to identify what fat could be trimmed and what remained essential to the core of the business.

One of the key discoveries Bansal made while working out the company’s operating model was that the multi-brand strategy was fracturing its message. Cleanaway was an acquisition made in 2007, but of the names under the Transpacific umbrella it had the longest history as well as one of the strongest brand messages. In re-branding the company to Cleanaway, Bansal was able to create a new mission statement for the company: making a sustainable future possible. This gave the business a call to action, transforming its image from that of kerbside collectors to a force working to prepare Australia for the imminent circular economy it would need to obtain in order to properly manage its waste.

Creating a roadmap to carrying out the company’s mission statement, in 2017 Bansal introduced Footprint 2025, a strategy for the company that would ensure the country had the proper infrastructure in place to sustainably deal with waste. Australians are among the world’s largest producers of waste, and population growth, increased consumption, diminishing landfill space and strict quality requirements in recycling markets will continue to put increasing pressure on waste management systems. Through Footprint 2025, Bansal sought to drive the company toward long-term solutions that would allow for the recovery of more waste as well as processing more recyclables to ensure that the least amount of residual waste is left to be disposed of. This meant diversification of the company’s waste management portfolio, investing in solutions across the waste value chain.

The Waste Hierarchy

We’ve all heard the mantra “reduce, reuse, recycle” and recognize it as the way in which we should operate on an individual level. However, at a larger scale the idea becomes more complex. From a broader point of view waste must be dealt with in some way, shape or form, ordering from most preferable to least preferable as “avoid, reuse, recycle, recover energy, treat, or dispose.” The most preferred method of managing waste is to avoid creating it in the first place, or reduce the amount of waste created. These two methods can only be accomplished by a coming together of governments who create policies, industries who implement changes to the way they utilize materials, and individuals who must be proactive in their efforts. After these two methods, the next steps are to reuse materials in their original or repurposed form, recycle the material into a new product, recover resources such as energy from waste that can’t be recycled, and then finally treating waste for proper final disposal, and Vik Bansal has worked to arrange strategic investments for Cleanaway that accomplish these goals. To better manage waste, the higher levels of the waste hierarchy must be given priority, but the value of the lower levels also should not be lost.

Waste Value Chain Infrastructure

To date, Bansal has directed Cleanaway to invest more than $500 million in growth projects across the waste hierarchy, including collection, sorting and processing infrastructure. This includes greenfield developments such as the original Perth Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), transfer stations and resource recovery facilities, and landfill biogas generators to recover energy from landfill gas. Additionally, the company acquired SKM Recycling Group’s resource recovery assets, including material recovery facilities, a plastic recovery facility and transfer stations, preventing the state of Victoria from losing half of its recycling capacity. With the successful integrations of waste management businesses Toxfree Solutions and Daniels Health, Cleanaway became the 17th largest waste management firm in the world with more capital investment planned in the coming years.

Reuse and Recycle

Through two joint ventures between Cleanway and the industrial packaging company Pact Group, Bansal pioneered an unprecedented collaboration that effectively tackles the ‘reuse’ and ‘recycle’ methods of the waste hierarchy with the development of two new plastic pelletizing facilities. One facility recently broke ground in Albury-Wodonga, and the second facility has been proposed to be built in Western Australia, providing a comprehensive solution that will see less virgin plastics found on the shelves for consumers. Utilizing clean plastic collected from the New South Wales and Western Australia container deposit schemes and supplemented by Cleanaway’s plastic recovery facilities, the ventures will utilize the plastic processing expertise of Pact, and the New South Wales facility will also partner with the beverages company Asahi to ensure that there is demand for bottle manufacturing.  The Western Australia facility will see over 17,000 tonnes of kerbside plastic waste processed into nearly 14,000 tonnes of resin and polymer flake, and the New South Wales Facility will recycle the equivalent of around one billion 600ml PET plastic bottles each year. According to Pact Group this will result in the amount of locally-sourced and recycled PET plastic produced in Australia increasing by two thirds from around 30,000 tonnes a year to more than 50,000.

Recover Energy

These solutions relieve pressure on landfill, provide a lower cost option for councils and businesses to dispose of their non-recyclable waste and contribute to lowering carbon emissions. One energy-from-waste facility has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 450,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year – the equivalent of taking roughly 100,000 cars off the roads.

Cleanaway has proposed to build an energy-from-waste centre in Western Sydney, which would boost the local economy while powering more than 79,000 homes and business and divert up to 500,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste from the landfill each year. According to Bansal, energy-from-waste technology delivers on the triple bottom line of sustainability, and by investing in energy-from-waste infrastructure Cleanaway shows its overarching commitment to sustainability across the waste value chain.

Vik Bansal’s time at Cleanaway saw it rise over 120 places on the ASX market in less than six years, increasing its market capitalization from less than $1 billion to over $5 billion. However, perhaps one of his bigger legacies will be the building of infrastructure across the waste value chain, which will see Australia better prepared for a more sustainable future.
