Carbon Neutral Operations by 2030
Fleet electrification underwayThrough fleet electrification, route optimisation to cut fuel consumption, and landfill gas capture at disposal sites, PCM targets carbon neutral operations by 2030.
10,000 Tonnes Recyclables Annually by 2027
1,200 tonnes recovered in 2025Our MRF and Picker Partner programme are scaling rapidly. By 2027 we aim to recover 10,000 tonnes of recyclables per year, creating livelihoods and reducing landfill pressure.
